Buy Gems Wholesale Auction Catalog - Gem, Currency, Coin and Jewelry Auction Online Auctions

General Info

Lot #0 (Sale Order 1 of 54)

This lot is not for sale. Some pretty nice pieces in this auction, especially at the end of the auction. All gems sold in this auction are natural, mined from the earth gemstones, unless specifically labeled "Synthetic" in the title or description of the lot. We do our best to fully describe these gems, as well as any treatments they may have. We don't try to pass off synthetics as the real thing. There are a lot of companies out there selling synthetics as genuine gemstones, so be careful where you buy. All of our gems are tested in a gem lab, and most have slight natural inclusions of some kind, verifying that they're real. We sell thousands of carats of gemstones per month, so any gems that make it into one of our high end auctions are hand picked from larger parcels. These are the top 25% of the gems that come in. If you have any questions, feel free to contact Ben, our gemologist prior to bidding.

It's at least a nice Blue-Green Indicolite Tourmaline, which is still one of the more rare and valuable forms of Tourmaline. Natural and untreated.

0.98 Carat Fine Pink Garnet

Lot #32 (Sale Order 33 of 54)

Great Pink Garnet from Mozambique. There are quite a lot of Garnets coming out of Mozambique right now so high quality pieces aren't too hard to find. But as the mines begin to wane, pieces like this will go up in value. Natural and untreated.
