I attempt to accurately represent and describe cut stones and rough
as to appearance, size, origin and fully disclose any known
treatments in its description. Because you view the images on a
different monitor with different settings, color is particularly fickle
to represent, but I do my best.

Cut Stones
Latest New Things
5.25 Ct Afghan Top Hot Pink Tourmaline added to the Tourmaline cut stones page 02/23/12.
1.83 Ct Cambodian Blue Zircon added to the Sold Zircon page. 05/18/11

Note: It's been a long time since I posted any new stones to the web site, but I have been very busy. I've been cutting special
requests. So many special requests that I at one time had a 6 stone backlog built up. And I cut the most gorgeous tsavorite for
myself (the first stone I'v ever kept for myself). It looks like I'll have very little new production for several more months because
I accepted a full time job that runs until Christmas. Don't give up on me though. If you have a special piece that you need, I'll try
to fulfill your requests: it may just take a bit longer than usual.

Gems by Dan Starr
My name is Dan Starr. I've been cutting and polishing
gemstones for several years now, and this website is where I
show off my "extra" stones, which would be very few if my
wife had her way! I grew up in La Habra, California and
graduated from UCLA. I hope no one holds that against me.
My Guarantee is simple. If you buy a stone from me and
are not satisfied with your purchase for any reason, then
return it to me within two weeks undamaged and unaltered
and I will refund your money. You can't get a better
guarantee! Prior to returning an item you must e-mail me so
that I know it's coming.
