Editorial policy

Our goal is accurate, useful, transparent gemstone education.

Standards

Every page must have a clear purpose, answer a real question, use plain language, avoid unsupported claims, and distinguish evidence from interpretation.

Sources

We prefer recognized gemological institutions, mineral databases, academic research, government guidance, and clearly identified expert references. Retail claims are not treated as proof of rarity or treatment origin.

Corrections

Material errors are corrected promptly. Substantive changes should be noted in future release notes.

Commercial relationships

Any affiliate, sponsored, or commercial relationship will be disclosed where relevant. Monetization will not override reader usefulness or factual accuracy.
