Common Questions
Natural vs Synthetic: What is the difference?
Natural stones were formed over millions of years, while synthetic stones are created in labs. Both have the same chemical structure, but labs can detect the growth patterns.
Why is a lab report necessary?
A report provides an unbiased, third-party evaluation of value-critical factors, ensuring transparency for both buyers and sellers.
