Standard types of materials include the quartz varieties, garnets, tourmalines, topaz, beryls, tanzanite, feldspars, spinels, opals, most stones between 6 and 8 in hardness. There are variable extra charges for extra-soft, extra-hard, or easily cleaved, fragile, or heat-sensitive stones.

Corundum (ruby, sapphire), cubic zirconia, rhodochrosites, fluorites, diopsides, and similar material over 3 cts. Add 30%
Spodumene (kunzite, hiddenite, triphane, etc.) Add 100%
High value stones such as certain rubies, emeralds, sapphires, museum and top collectors' stones, also involve additional extra charges.


Repair Orders: We do not solicit repair jobs, but are willing to accommodate for established customers. Full recuts are the same price as cutting from rough. Full crown or pavilion recuts are one-half the cost of a full-stone recut. Chips and scratches removed are priced according to the amount of work involved.

Minimum charges: $15.00.

Standard gem cabochons normally run from $7.00 to $20.00 depending on material, shape, calibration. We currently do not handle corundum cabbing.

Receipt of payment required before shipping or delivery on all cutting labor orders totaling $50.00 or more with new customers. An estimated pre-payment is one method, the other is that I contact you when the order is finished and your shipment goes out as soon as I receive your check or credit card information.

Policy Buena Vista Gem Works will make every effort to assure the best possible stone will be cut from the customer's materials. However, assumes no liability for finished yield or natural problems such as color changes, heat sensitivity, cracking, etc. Liability is only assumed in case of theft or damage due to dropping, etc. In no case shall liability exceed the cost of replacing the stone(s) with like or similar material.

How To Request Service It is best to call or write us BEFORE you sent us rough to cut or a repair order. This way we can discuss what it is you need, the charges, and the time frame that it will take to complete.
