Our Products.
Products. We do our best effort to ensure that all the descriptions of our products are accurate. In our photos we try to try to capture each stone/crystal/product to reflect their natural color and formation or material as closely as possible. As a creation of nature, they can have imperfections and variations. Photos may not reflect stone/crystal or product actual size, they can be larger or smaller than their actual size. We have made every effort to display as accurately as possible the colors and images of our products that appear in the WEBSITE. We cannot guarantee that your computer monitor’s display of any color will be accurate.
Measurements are detailed in the description of our stone/crystal/products. Small differences in item weights may result from differences in calibration of equipment. Please consider these when making your purchase.
Quality Guarantee. CRYSTAL GARDEN takes pride in offering the highest quality of crystals, stones, products, etc. offered to our clientele. All of our products shown are of A Grade Quality, or higher, unless otherwise stated.
All products advertised in both the webpage, and the physical store, are personally chosen, picked and curated to be of the utmost quality, beauty and energy.
