                            Delivery is usually less
                                than two weeks for items in stock. We try to
                                keep all items in stock, but the nature of these
                                products means supplies are limited and
                                therefore shortages will occur. 
                               
                            Prices are subject to change
                              without notice. 
                              If there is a price increase, we will try to
                              notify you prior to shipment. 
                             
                              If for any reason you are not satisfied with an
                              item, contact us within one week to obtain return
                              authorization for either an exchange or refund.

                              Lapidary as to disposition. No returns will be
                              accepted without prior authorization. All returns
                              must be well packed and insured against loss or
                              damage. Return of merchandise held for more than
                              one week is subject to a restocking fee to be
                              determined at time of return.
