FAQ

How are the photographs taken?

Our photos are taken with a D7000 Nikon DSLR camera with a 40mm lens under the direct natural sun with no artificial or backlighting to enhance color or clarity, for this reason, our photos are taken on a calibrated ruler paper as it seems to provide the truest reflection of the stones characteristics.
