I attempt to accurately represent and describe cut stones and rough as to appearance, size, origin and fully
disclose any known treatments in its description. Because you view the images on a different monitor with
different settings, color is particularly fickle to represent, but I do my best.

Note: It's been a long time since I posted any new stones to the web site, but I have been very busy. I've been cutting special requests. So many
special requests that I at one time had a 6 stone backlog built up. And I cut the most gorgeous tsavorite for myself (the first stone I'v ever kept for
myself). It looks like I'll have very little new production for several more months because I accepted a full time job that runs until Christmas. Don't
give up on me though. If you have a special piece that you need, I'll try to fulfill your requests: it may just take a bit longer than usual.

My name is Dan Starr. I've been cutting and polishing gemstones for
several years now, and this website is where I show off my "extra" stones,
which would be very few if my wife had her way! I grew up in La Habra,
California and graduated from UCLA. I hope no one holds that against me.
My Guarantee is simple. If you buy a stone from me and are not satisfied
with your purchase for any reason, then return it to me within two weeks
undamaged and unaltered and I will refund your money. You can't get a
better guarantee! Prior to returning an item you must e-mail me so that I
know it's coming.
