RETURN, REFUND & EXCHANGE POLICY
1. Final Sale
Unless otherwise required by applicable law, all sales are final.
Due to the unique nature of rare gemstones, mineral specimens, rough material, and one-of-a-kind jewelry, we do not accept returns, exchanges, refunds, or credits based upon:
buyer’s remorse
change of mind
preference
natural variations
color differences between displays
future market value
independent grading opinions
⸻
2. Condition
Items are sold as-is and as-described.
Natural inclusions, growth structures, matrix, color zoning, fractures, and other naturally occurring characteristics are part of the nature of mineral specimens and are not considered defects unless specifically represented otherwise.
⸻
3. Independent Laboratory Testing
Buyers are welcome to obtain independent laboratory testing after purchase.
Laboratory opinions obtained after purchase do not automatically create a right to return, exchange, or refund.
Should credible evidence demonstrate that an item was materially misrepresented, we will review the matter in good faith in accordance with this policy and applicable law.
⸻
4. Order Cancellations
Cancellation requests submitted before shipment may be approved solely at our discretion.
Approved cancellations may be subject to deductions for:
non-refundable merchant processing fees
payment processor fees
shipping labels already purchased
insurance costs
other third-party costs already incurred
⸻
5. Chargebacks
Buyers agree to contact us first regarding any concerns before initiating a chargeback.
Chargebacks based solely upon buyer’s remorse, delayed expectations within the published fulfillment window, misunderstanding of natural characteristics, or dissatisfaction unrelated to material misrepresentation are considered violations of these Terms.
Fraudulent or abusive chargebacks may result in:
permanent account closure
cancellation of future orders
collection of associated fees
reporting to merchant fraud prevention services when appropriate
⸻
6. Communication
If a buyer believes an item has been materially misrepresented, they must notify us within 48 hours of delivery and provide clear documentation supporting the concern.
We will review all documented claims fairly and in good faith.
⸻
7. Documentation
We retain invoices, payment records, communications, listing photographs, packaging documentation, and shipping records for our protection and that of our customers.
⸻
8. Privacy
Customer information is used solely for processing orders, providing customer service, fulfilling legal obligations, and operating our business.
Information is never sold to third parties.
