Welcome to the Artistic Colored
Stones internet catalog. My name is
Barry Bridgestock. I'm a Registered ISG
Gemologist, gem collector and
faceter. I believe that all gem
materials deserve expert cutting, no
matter what their commercial values might
be. The gemstones offered for sale
on the ACS site reflect this philosophy,
as each stone is noteworthy because of the
material it's fashioned from, or the cut
given to it.
ACS offers a wide variety of stones
from custom cutters, as well as rare
stones for the collector. There is also a
library of gemological information to
which you have free access without
registering as a customer or making any
purchases. This includes: a monthly gem
topic essay, a large archive of past
essays, a free gem slideshow, and a free
online gemology course. Additionally,
if you have any gemological or website
questions, I'd be happy to respond: use
the built in link on the
"Ask
Barry" page, or email me at
barry@acstones.com
. My goal is to answer all emails within
24 hours.
