Eusice Carnelian Crystal Polished Stones for Joy

The Eusice Challenge: Revolutionizing the Stone Industry

At Eusice, we started from a simple observation: the quality of stones on the market is deplorable. In 60% of cases, they are fake stones (resin, tinted glass, reconstituted with glue), and in the remaining 40%, they're badly polished, very included or simply ugly. Dissatisfied with the current state of the industry, we set out to create something better.

Madagascar, the Land of Exceptional Stones

Madagascar is one of the countries with the richest and most diverse mineral sub-soil. It was in the heart of these mountains that my grandfather, a geologist, developed a deep passion for minerals. Today, my family continues this legacy, with my father becoming an accomplished lapidary and myself pursuing the profession of geologist.

Our Workshop: Where Quality Reigns Supreme

At Eusice, we take a contrarian approach to the industry. Instead of prioritizing quantity over quality, we meticulously select the most beautiful rocks to produce exceptional stones. This process involves several stages, each requiring a great deal of expertise.

1. The Choice of Raw Rock: We keep only the best (around 20%) of the raw rock we receive, after a rigorous examination process. This ensures that we work with the highest-quality materials.

2. Rock Cutting: Cutting the rock is a critical stage that requires immense skill. Our craftsmen have the time to carefully examine each piece, handle it, and consult with colleagues to ensure the best possible outcome.

3. Transformation into Polished Stone: Polishing is a crucial step, as it can make or break the final result. Our craftsmen take the time to use specialized polishes tailored to different types of stone, ensuring a smooth and flawless finish.

Preserving Tradition, Empowering People

In Madagascar, the stone industry is often plagued by poor working conditions, violations of human dignity, and lack of stability. At Eusice, we have made it our mission to fight against these issues.

We have implemented safety standards, provided personal protective equipment, and created a first-aid kit - things that were previously unheard of in the local workshops. We also offer job stability, access to training, and even provide daily meals for our craftsmen.

A Contrarian Approach to Changing the Industry

At Eusice, our goal is to design the most exceptional stones possible, rather than focusing on mass production. Our craftsmen work collaboratively, conducting a series of tests to refine the polish, color, and natural inclusions of each stone.

This meticulous approach sets us apart from other Malagasy lapidaries, as you'll never find stones like Eusice's anywhere else. We believe that it's through this dedication and innovation that we can offer the most beautiful stones in existence.

Eusice: Connecting You to the Essence of Exceptional Stones

When you choose an Eusice product, you're not just purchasing a stone – you're supporting a family-owned business that is committed to preserving traditional know-how, empowering its workers, and creating truly exceptional pieces. Our Carnelian palm stones, for example, are the result of this unwavering dedication to quality and craftsmanship.
