Contact Us

Thank you for visiting Gems Lore. Use this page to report an error, ask a question about our content, request a correction, discuss a media enquiry or contact us about an appropriate collaboration.

We read every legitimate message, although we cannot guarantee an individual response to every submission. Corrections, privacy requests, accessibility issues and security concerns receive priority.

Report an Article Error

Accuracy matters to us. Contact us when you notice:

An incorrect mineral name, formula or classification.
A factual error involving color, hardness, treatment or locality.
A broken or incorrect internal link.
An outdated price, regulation or market statement.
A duplicated section or conflicting statement.
A spelling, formatting or accessibility problem.

Include the exact page and, where possible, the heading or sentence that needs review.

A suggested correction is helpful, but we will verify the information independently before making a change.

You can learn more about the site and its editorial purpose on the About Gems Lore page.

Ask a Gemstone or Crystal Question

Readers may submit general questions about mineral identity, gemstone care, treatments, jewelry suitability and the historical symbolism associated with crystals.

However, a message and a few photographs cannot replace laboratory testing or an in-person examination.

We cannot reliably:

Authenticate a gemstone from one photograph.
Confirm a treatment without suitable testing.
Provide an insurance or legal appraisal.
Guarantee a specimen’s mine or country of origin.
Diagnose a medical condition.
Predict financial returns from a gemstone purchase.

When asking about a stone, include clear photographs under neutral lighting, approximate dimensions, weight if known, purchase history and any documentation supplied by the seller.

Do not perform destructive scratch, acid, flame or impact tests before contacting us.

Corrections and Editorial Feedback

Thoughtful editorial feedback is welcome.

When questioning a statement, identify the specific claim and explain why it may be inaccurate or incomplete.

Where available, include the name of a laboratory report, academic paper, museum publication, government source or recognized gemological reference that supports the correction.

We do not change an article solely because a product seller, spiritual practitioner or social-media post uses different terminology. Naming conventions, trade terms and cultural interpretations often require careful comparison.

Material corrections may be incorporated into the article without individual attribution unless a separate agreement has been made.

Privacy Requests

Use the contact form for requests involving access, correction, deletion, restriction or another applicable privacy right.

Choose Privacy request as the topic and describe the request clearly.

We may need enough information to verify that the person making the request is connected with the relevant data. Do not submit government identification, financial records or other highly sensitive material unless we specifically explain why it is necessary and provide an appropriate secure method.

Our Privacy Policy explains how personal information may be collected, used and retained.

The current Cookie Policy explains browser cookies and similar technologies.

Do not:

Access data that does not belong to you.

Guest Articles and Expert Contributions

A proposal for an expert contribution should include the writer’s relevant qualifications, proposed topic and examples of previous work.

Topics must fit the site’s established content plan and avoid duplicating an existing article.

Submission does not guarantee publication, payment or a followed promotional link.

Any accepted contribution may require fact-checking, structural editing, originality verification and disclosure of relevant commercial interests.

Manufacturers, jewelers, laboratories and retailers may introduce a relevant product or service.

Receiving a sample does not guarantee coverage, a favorable opinion or continued possession of the item unless agreed in advance.

We do not endorse unsupported medical, metaphysical, authenticity or investment claims.

Response Expectations

We prioritize messages according to their subject and urgency.

Privacy, security, accessibility, copyright and significant factual-correction requests generally require more immediate review than broad questions or unsolicited promotional proposals.

Repeated submissions do not necessarily produce a faster response.

A response may come from a member of the editorial, administrative or technical team rather than a named author.

Failure to respond should not be interpreted as acceptance, agreement or permission.

Information You Should Not Send

Do not include:

Passwords.
Payment-card details.
Bank information.
Government identification.
Medical records.
Confidential legal documents.
Private keys or access tokens.
Unredacted documents containing another person’s personal data.

Contact-form messages are not an appropriate channel for emergency assistance.
