Business Description
ABOUT THE Company: GEMSTONES FROM THE EARTH
Gemstones from the Earth celebrates the earths treasures. We currently sell faceted and cabochoned gemstones and the rough from which those two can be made. Founded by Tim Morgan and Michele McMurtry in July of 2009, the company sells material from central and eastern Africa. We will, however, be getting material from elsewhere. We offer to the jeweler, lapidarist and collector good to excellent quality material at competitive wholesale and retail prices.
Our stones are faceted and cabochoned by professional lapidarists in the US and Sri Lanka who have been cutting for decades. Our rough is bought from miners themselves and the material has been tested physically and chemically before cutting takes place. We work with a highly-respected gemologist and gem dealer, Lee Horowitz, who has been in the business for over twenty years.
In our introductory collection of faceted and cabochoned gemstones, we have color change garnets from a newly-discovered east African site (January 2009), transparent blue feldspars, brilliant red Namanga garnets, golden tourmalines, peridot, Zambian amethysts, idocrase (vesuvianites), and green tourmalines. The color change garnets were originally thought to be alexandrite because their color change was so much like that of Russian alexandrites. Subsequent testing, however, revealed them to be garnets, selling at one-tenth or less the price per carat of alexandrites. We invite you to browse through our collection.
Business Overview
Avg Response Time
≤ 1h
Gemstones from the Earth is headquartered in the United States, a country known for strong gemstone retail and design industries, which may suggest a focus on high-end or branded jewelry rather than raw materials. The company offers a range of amber gemstones, loose stones, and finished products like necklaces and beads — a mix that appeals to both wholesale buyers and boutique jewelry makers. However, no work email, phone number, account email, or business documents are verified, which raises concerns about legitimacy and ability to respond to buyer inquiries. In international trade, unverified contact details can delay orders or lead to miscommunication. Buyers should request additional proof, such as a business license or product catalog, before placing any large orders with Gemstones from the Earth.
