Some pieces may have surface finishing applied to enhance appearance, which is a standard and widely accepted practice in the crystal industry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDisclaimer\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe information provided at inspiremeonline.co.nz, including AI-assisted product descriptions, is for educational and informational purposes only.
