Cattle gallstones.

Quality assessment
Quality matters.
So does condition.
Yellow, gold and orange stones are often sought after. Colour alone cannot establish authenticity or quality; discuss the required assessment and any laboratory analysis before purchase.
01
Color, size & integrity
Review the lot’s appearance and the proportion of intact stones to fragments.
02
Dryness & preservation
Condition affects assessment. Ask about drying, storage, moisture and any signs of contamination.
03
Weight & supporting records
Request net weight, origin details and confirmation of the documentation available for your order.
Useful to know
Before you enquire.
Are these gemstones or decorative stones?
Is there a fixed price per kilogram?
No single advertised figure applies to every batch. Request a current quotation based on the actual material, its condition, weight and the agreed order terms.
What information should I request before buying?
Request current photographs, net weight, a lot description and the seller’s supporting records. Discuss any independent verification you require. Website images are illustrative, not evidence of stock.
