Lapidary Service Information
**NEW RATE *Minimum service fee of $20 per hour.
* I do not calibrate cabochons, only freeform cutting here folks.
Cabochon fee:
My standard rate is $20 per hour for cabochon cutting.
*single side polished, for single side dome. regardless of shape. Sizes larger than 2inches will inquire a larger fee which is determined after cab is cut.
*extra possible fees;
Dual face side polished, $2.00 per cab.
Double Dome Cabochon, $2.00 per cab
Opal Doublets:
$5.00 per cab on top of the hourly rate.
Because i will not know the grade of the opal your sending, more work can be put into cutting opal doublets. And in most cases i will have to stabilize the opal. I use Basonite for the back material which i can supply. But if you have another type you rather use, let me know.
Soft Stones:
There are many soft stone on the market that require extra handling in order to properly cut and polish. A few example would be Opals, Turquoise, Tiffany Stone, Alunite, and Copper Ore Silicates. These are just a few examples so email me if you not sure about your material.
Normally the extra handling consists again of stabilizing the stone.
So the fee is only $5 per cab on top the hourly rate

*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.
