*Turnaround time right for slabbing depends really on your load of rough looking to cut, most can be done in a manner of a few days or less, minus shipping to and from times. Cabochon cutting is a little slow right now, please inquire.

*NO RUSH orders *as I am not a mass production lapidary provider.

*Please note though I have cut thousands of pounds of rough and ten times that in cabochons. Certain rough and experience can always be questioned. I am not liable for any broken pieces, before or after they are finished. I always strive to provide the best quality in service but rocks are rocks. If you are not sure what you have in the way of rough, or not sure I what you want. The higher the chance of getting something you don’t want, or having problems with the order in general. I am not responsible for poor rough, which will only result in poor service. Please ask all and any questions you have, as I will not accept rough I am unsure of. Remember, I will simply send it back if it's a poor quality.
