About the Founder

I am a passionate gemstone faceter with a background in precision craftsmanship.
My approach to rough selection mirrors my approach to cutting: measured, realistic, and uncompromising in quality.

Lapidarius Mirkorus represents my personal standard — careful evaluation, structural understanding, and respect for the material.

Every stone in this shop has been individually handled, assessed, and approved by me.

Why Choose Lapidarius Mirkorus?

Every stone is selected individually, with attention to the qualities that truly matter — whether it is intended for faceting, jewelry, or a collection.

For faceting rough, I look closely at:

★ Clarity and internal structure
★ Faceting potential and orientation
★ Structural stability
★ Expected yield
★ Color and optical character

I do not classify decorative mineral material as “facet grade” simply because it transmits light. Rough offered for faceting is material I consider genuinely suitable for cutting.

As a faceter myself, I evaluate rough from a cutter’s perspective — considering not only how a stone looks in its natural state, but what it may become after cutting.

For faceted gemstones, the same attention extends to the finished stone. Precision-faceted pieces are cut individually, with designs and proportions chosen to complement the particular material rather than simply following standardized shapes.

Our Commitment

The aim is simple: to offer gemstones and rough that I can confidently stand behind.

Product descriptions are intended to give a realistic impression of each individual piece, including relevant characteristics, inclusions, or limitations.

If a stone does not meet your expectations, it may be returned within 14 days in accordance with the return policy.

I value long-term trust more than one-time transactions.

What Makes Lapidarius Mirkorus Different

★ Individually selected stones rather than anonymous bulk material
★ Rough evaluated from a faceter’s perspective
★ Precision-faceted gemstones cut with attention to the individual material
★ Natural and synthetic materials clearly identified
★ Honest, technically grounded descriptions
★ A continuously evolving selection of distinctive stones and minerals

The focus is not on offering the largest possible inventory. It is on offering pieces that are worth looking at, working with, wearing, or adding to a collection.

Transparency

Gemstones are described as accurately and realistically as possible.

Treatments, synthetic origin, inclusions, structural characteristics, and other relevant information are disclosed whenever known. For faceting rough, potential limitations or risks are stated where they can reasonably be identified.

The goal is to provide the information needed to understand what you are buying — without exaggerated claims or unnecessary marketing language.
