The Stone

One gem. One source.

Every Gemsational stone comes from our family's mine in San Luis Potosí. We know where each one was found, how it was cut, and everything done to it.

Named for the Russian tsars, who kept the finest warm-coloured topaz for their own family.

Each stone is cut to show its best colour face-up, and is filmed in daylight and warm light before it is offered.

Every stone comes with our reports of type, estimated value and origin. Treatment, if any, is always stated.
