The catalog descriptions should, but may not necessarily state, whether these techniques have been used, and CJG makes no representations or warranties, express or implied, as to whether any natural stones have been treated. ESTIMATES Quoted estimated retail values are based upon the estimates, which may vary, based upon market conditions (worldwide) and shall not be considered in any manner whatsoever, as to the actual value of the item.
