Anyone have experience with this seller?

Does anyone have an idea about this seller. Their shop is well maintained and star rated, but their prices seem to be too good. They are a California based store.

I would worry about those stones not looking great in person. It looks like they store their stones all together in a package and because of that they have facet-wear which reduces the shininess

Oh okay! I am still wondering if these stones are natural and untreated like they claim. The prices are quite low compared to some of the other recommended sellers here

The gems all look poorly saturated and dull to me. I have seen lots of other seller offering similar quality for prices like that.

With etsy I wonder if you get the stone in the picture.

They claim that they give the exact stone from the picture.

Relatively low-value material that you posted there. Could just be bought in bulk after faceting in China? I'm not saying those stones are particularly unappealing. I can't tell if it's wonky cutting or all the stones are tilted relative to the image plane of the camera sensor but I suspect it's the latter.

I see. Yes, they claim to have some large Rwandan stones for under 20$ a carat.
