We have more than 50 faceted and approximately 20 rough samples prepared for sale. These samples are hand-picked from thousands of stones, collected over 10 years. They show particular diagnostic inclusions exclusive to Kashmir which will help the individual or laboratory identify origin. Most of the stones are cut from auction rough. I lost several hundred thousand dollars learning Kashmir stones. It is very difficult to differentiate Kashmir from other origins such as Cambodia, Ceylon or Madagascar. A sample of our stones are profiled below.
