Will we get a confirmation that our stone was received by the stone handler?
Hi, Scott. Our stone handler sends a confirming email, but travel has him a bit behind currently. You can ship it with a delivery confirmed by the carrier, of course, and even get insurance if it’s valuable material.
Thanks Alan, I sent it in at the beginning of the month. I will check the mail system.
The cut is worth more than the material, lol.
