Stone Treatment & Grading Disclosure
Only Natural Stones – Product Transparency & Disclosure
At Only Natural Stones, we are committed to providing clear and accurate information about our gemstone beads.
1. Natural Stones
Unless otherwise stated, our gemstone beads are made from natural stone material.
As natural products, variations in:
- Colour
- Pattern
- Texture
- Inclusions
are normal and part of the stone’s natural character.
No two beads are identical.
2. Treatments & Enhancements
Some gemstones available on the market may undergo treatments such as:
- Dyeing
- Heat treatment
- Stabilisation
- Surface coating
Where we are aware of treatments from our suppliers, this will be stated in the product description.
If no treatment is specified, the stone is sold based on supplier information as a natural material. Minor industry-standard enhancements may still be possible.
3. Colour Variations
Product photos are taken to represent the stone as accurately as possible.
However, colour appearance may vary due to:
- Lighting conditions
- Monitor or device settings
- Natural variation between batches
4. Grading (AA, AAA, etc.)
Gemstone grading (e.g. AA, AAA) is not governed by a universal industry standard.
Our grading reflects our own quality assessment based on:
- Colour richness
- Consistency
- Surface finish
- Overall appearance
Grades are comparative within our own stock and may differ from other sellers’ grading systems.
5. Country of Origin
Where a country of origin is stated, it reflects the most commonly known or supplier-declared source for that material.
Due to global supply chains, the origin may vary depending on availability.
6. Intended Use
Our gemstone beads are sold for:
- Jewellery making
- Craft use
- Decorative purposes
They are not sold as medical devices and are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any medical condition.
