Gemology Certificates and Certificates of Authenticity
Please note and/or research the differences between a certificate of authenticity and a gem certificate. For reference, shown here is a gemology certificate of a museum grade Besednice moldavite set in 14K gold. This gem certificate is current, denotes testing done, includes colored pictures and stamp, the gemologist is located in the Czech, and the Besednice locality has been specified. This certificate holds extra value to a collector due to the amount of experience and reputation that this gemologist has.
Star Crystal shop is located in the Northeastern US. At this time there is no member of our shop that is a registered gemologist. We are professional collectors that value the reputation, longevity, and industry respect of our suppliers. Several of our suppliers have either written books about moldavite or are professional references worldwide.
The authenticity of all crystals is explicitly and directly guaranteed by Star Crystal Shop LLC. Our moldavite has been independently validated by our customers in several labs across the US. We have had multiple purchases by students using our moldavite for lab work. Please check our EBAY and ETSY feedback under StarCrystalShop as the rating is 100+% positive with over 400 purchases reviewed.
Each moldavite is shipped with a Star Crystal Shop Certificate of Authenticity. This certificate guarantees that the moldavite purchased is authentic, was legally mined and sourced, and that the moldavite item purchased is exactly as described.
