Frequently AskedQuestions

Are all gemstones on KashiGemstones.com natural and untreated?

Yes. All gemstones sold on KashiGemstones.com are 100% natural and ethically sourced. We do not deal in synthetic, lab-created, or artificially treated gemstones such as glass-filled rubies or beryllium-treated sapphires.

However, some gemstones—like sapphires—may undergo traditional heating to enhance their natural color and clarity. This is a widely accepted industry practice and does not diminish the stone’s natural origin or astrological value.

Similarly, natural emeralds are often oiled using cedarwood oil to fill minor surface-reaching inclusions. This is a standard, non-invasive practice to improve appearance without altering the stone’s composition.

We are fully transparent about such enhancements, and all treatments (if any) are clearly disclosed in the gemological certificate provided with each gemstone.

👉 In short:

  • No synthetic or artificial stones
  • No harsh chemical or glass-filled treatments
  • Only traditional enhancements like heating (for sapphires) or oiling (for emeralds)

At Kashi Gemstones, we value transparency and trust. While not all gemstones are pre-certified, we offer lab certification on demand for any gemstone you choose.

Please note:

  • Certification incurs an additional cost, depending on the lab selected
  • It may take 2–3 extra working days to complete the process
  • The original lab certificate will be shipped along with your gemstone

If you'd like a certified gemstone, just let us know while placing the order or contact our support team.
