Coming Online Soon! We have a huge selection of precious/semi-precious gemstones. We have all of the major birthstones plus some rare and unusual minerals like faceted mexican fire opal, and apatite to name a couple. We carry most standard sizes in oval, round and emerald cut shapes, as well as some trillion and pear shaped stones. EVERY stone is inspected very closely to make sure they are well proportioned, flawless, and have a desirable color/brilliance for the stone in question. Like most everything else in the rock shop, whenever possible we try to carry ONLY TOTALLY NATURAL STONES. With gemstones this can get tricky as there are numerous ways to either enhance or outright fake stones these days. Then with certain stones - blue topaz, rubies, sapphires to name a few - some type of heat treatment is almost ALWAYS applied to the rough to either enhance the color or clarity of the final product. We do offer to set these stones as either earrings, pendants, or rings. The settings are very simple four or six prong settings, and are offered in sterling silver, or 14k white and yellow gold.
We have many other fossil and mineral items to post to the site before we start posting pics of the stones and settings, so it may be a while before we have that info up. If you are interested please feel free to call or email us with any questions regarding the gemstones and settings we carry.
