Collecting Rare Gemstones & Colored Gems
Collecting rare gemstones or colored gems can be an adventure of a lifetime and a great investment. When building a collection of rare gemstones or colored gems you need to consider what makes them rare or collectible. Limited one source mines, unusual locations, availability, unique properties, colors or patterns all help to create rare gemstones.
We delight in faceting & collecting rare gemstones & colored gems from North America. Jacksons Crossroads Amethyst, Montana Sapphire, Maine Tourmaline & Turquoise are some of our favorites.

Adams Farm Hiddenite, North Carolina Emeralds & Rubies are highly collectible, valuable and rare.

Another passion for us is faceting & collecting rare gemstones & colored gems from Africa. We favor the uniquely colored garnets found there. Kenya produces bright green Tsavorite garnets. Namibia has neon orange Mandarin garnets & dazzling Demantoid garnets. Tanzania, Kenya & Madagascar have unusual color change garnets. Our first trip to Africa was seeking Tsavorite garnet rough in Kenya and we were hooked. While we deal in rare gems from around the globe we particularly love the African rare gemstones & colored gems.
