Are any of your stone products treated in any way, or are they 100% natural?

Doug,

Most of our products are 100% natural.  The exceptions are our Aura Quartz, Tumbled Turquoise, Heat Treated Citrine, Goldstone Hearts and the Blue Topaz in some of our jewelry pendants.

Aura Quartz - Our Aura Quartz products are treated as described on the product pages. 

Turquoise - As with most tumbled turquoise, ours is stabilized before the tumbling process.

Citrine - As with most citrine on the market today, some our citrine is heat treated to achieve the bright yellow/orange coloring. Our natural citrine has the word "natural" in the item name and if a citrine item does not have the word natural in it, then it has been heat treated. We also carry a large selection of natural citrine and these items are marked with the word "natural" in the item name.

Goldstone Hearts - Our blue and red goldstone hearts are a composite material and are not natural.

Blue Topaz - Although our natural blue topaz points and chips are natural, the blue topaz in some of our jewelry pendants have been heat treated to achieve the darker baby blue coloring.

I hope that helps.  If you have a question about a specific item, please email back and we'll be happy to help.
