Andesine Fracture Repair: Can Gemstones Be Fixed?


Question
I have a red andesine 10 x 8 cushion cut stone that I love.  I dropped it on my marble floor and a fracture formed for inside the stone.  Can I have this repaired my heat etc and is this a service you offer?

Many thanks

Answer
I'm Sorry It is cannot be repaired sucessfully or in a cost efficient mannor.
Best advise would be to purchase another one in the same color hue, tone and intensity.

Thanks for writting !!!

Good Luck
