" I love my Turkish Diaspore and it exceeds any previous expectations! I have to say I was both nervous and hesitant making such a purchase online as well as with a person/company I literally knew nothing about . Talk about a giant " Leap of Faith". Yet you were always professional and accommodating with me always responding in a timely manner, which I deeply appreciated. Being someone new whom never purchased gemstones in this way...my questions and requests responded to quickly, and you never made me feel any question or requests were a bother....you sent pictures and talked never trying to sway me one way or another...I learned so much from you in such a short time and look forward to collaborating further with you on my ring design for my beautiful diaspore! Thank you for making this process so positive. The diaspore arrived safely and timely. Again my heartfelt appreciation."

"... one thing that has impressed me through this venture is that you have treated me as if I were a long time favored customer. You realize that, to me, my stone is just as precious as that purchased by a true connoisseur for many thousands of dollars. I appreciate that -- it is a piece of what makes this experience special...your kid glove treatment is part and parcel of my one of a kind gem/ring."

"I have a small (just me) custom gemstone faceting business in Denver Colorado. I stumbled upon your site while "Googling" several months ago. I wanted to let you know what a fantastic website you have! It's an easy to navigate site. It's got so much great information about the materials you sell and their origins. The description on your gems is very well written. The detail you go into on the grading of gemstones is far more in-depth than most of the websites selling comparable gemstones. I mostly visit your site to browse thru your photographs, see what's new, as the pics are my favorite part. I know only a few sites who inform viewers if a photo of a gem doesn't have the correct color in the pic. To get clear, crisp, good representative pictures of the actual color of a gem, especially of color change, highly saturated, or deep toned pieces is almost an art unto itself. I must say it's an "art" you've certainly mastered. ...Your inventory is varied, and aside from the "common" materials you stock, it seems you carry many rare and unusual materials not usually seen. The quality of all the gemstones you list is incredibly high. You certainly have and list top end representations of the varied materials your gemstones are cut from. ...I only wanted you to know; for what it's worth I greatly enjoy browsing your site, thanx...
