I don't know. But I know that Gemporia's jade is bezcenny/bezcenný.

Thanks!

My English is not perfect. I have a B1 certificate although in reality I'm on the B2 level. Still not impressive. There are many Polish people who speak fluently in English. Polish is difficult. Especially when you try to learn Polish and Czech simultaneously. These two West Slavic languages...

My parcels are send via FedEx (the label is always "P2P UK" but I get notifications from the FedEx website). They are transported from Basildon to Amsterdam, probably by sea. Then they go to Venlo which is a Dutch city near the German border. It's the place where they sometimes get stuck for...

Wow, they look colourless...

Striped flint ring for a giantess: https://fotopolska.eu/Swiatowa_stolica_krzemienia_pasiastego_Sandomierz You can see it in the town of Sandomierz (south-eastern Poland). Unfortunately, they also have this obviously fake monstrosity...

Yes, they did. "Cappuccino flint" is not a well-known name. No one uses this term in Poland.

Yeah, they are pretty. I also like black banded onyx. And Polish striped flint (it kind of looks like beige agate).

This is why I never buy agates nor jaspers from Gemporia. I need to know exactly what I get. The best option is buying loose stones online. Your local goldsmith can frame them for you.

Insane! 🤯

It's even more risky when Gemporia sends parcels abroad. I live in Poland and my parcels are always carried by at least three different carriers (British one, continental one, and Polish one). There are many occasions to steal the thing.

It reaches from 2 to 2.5 on the Mohs scale of hardness. Extremely soft stones shouldn't be used in jewellery industry. They won't survive everyday wear.

This is EXACTLY what I thought!

What about the Wobito brothers? Are they true legends?

What is Type A Dulong Jadeite? It comes from China so it may be nephrite jade...

They can't be trusted anymore.

Is stainless steel really malleable? Are people able to create intricate patterns with this alloy? I've never seen sophisticated items (superior designs) made of stainless steel. Creative artists/artisans use silver or gold to implement their ideas. On the other hand, stainless steel jewellery...

A piece of red glass will never be equal to synthetic ruby. It doesn't have the durability of corundum. I don't have any synthetic rubies but I'm sure they have more brilliance, luster, and fire than red glass. Lab-grown ruby has the same physical, chemical, and optical properties as the natural...

This ring. Look how pretty it is. Metal weight: 9.08 g (so it's hallmarked by The Birmingham Assay Office). Nice, carved eagles. Huge, clean, saturated, brilliant-cut Zambian amethyst (16.00 x 12.00 mm, 8.0668 cts). I purchased this item in auction. Can you guess how much I paid for it? Only...

Ladies and Gentlemen, snowflake obsidian (natural volcanic glass) is now a variety of jasper! Stromatolite (type of fossil) became jasper too. At least none of them is jade. For now.
