This glass is packaged in Wales by Nikki's mum who measures just over a teaspoonful. Please let us know if you have any queries or concerns about the volume you receive.

Nikki’s Tip: You can sell this to clients as "faux birthstones" by reminding them that precious stones, in any kind of resin, would lose their facets so rough stones are better. Glass is the natural choice for vibrant colours with a deep respect of your client's journey, far more affordably than any genuine or even lab grade gemstone.
