Commercial relationship
Affiliate Disclosure
Some pages may contain affiliate links. If a reader follows one of these links and completes a purchase, ICHA Crystal Guide may receive a commission at no extra cost to the reader.
How the relationship is shown
When affiliate links are used, the commercial relationship is disclosed near the relevant content so readers can consider it before making a purchase decision.
Editorial independence
Commission does not determine the comparison
Affiliate compensation does not change the site’s method. Product photographs, listing language, treatment statements, dimensions, return terms, and seller disclosures are considered as separate evidence sources. A possible commission does not turn a seller’s label into a verified result.
No seller or affiliate relationship receives control over editorial conclusions, and compensation does not provide a basis for claims about identity, origin, authenticity, treatment status, quality, or value.
Reader use
Compare the purchase terms as well as the stone
Readers should assess the seller’s wording, photographs, measurements, treatment disclosure, shipping conditions, and return policy before purchasing. An affiliate link is a way to reach a seller; it is not an endorsement of every claim made in the listing.
Identification boundary
A recommendation cannot confirm the material
Photographs and ordinary observations may reveal color zoning, fractures, bubbles, coating wear, texture, or luster, but those clues cannot establish definitive identity, natural origin, authenticity, treatment status, or value. Gemological testing is needed when confirmation matters to the purchase.
