Mixed Gems Natural Loose Gemstones | 100% Natural Loose Gemstones bulk| Grade A+ (natural inclusions) |Hand Cut and Polished | Gemstone Wholesale Lot – by GM GemMartUSA (MX-60001)

I am pleasantly surprised at the quality of this parcel. They are DEFINITELY real stones. The bulk of them are cut well with excellent sparkle. There are 1 or 2 poorly cut and some inclusions, but most are eye clean. Most are fairly small, but I'm just thrilled they're real after receiving synthetic stones sold as natural from another seller. I ordered the 100ct parcel. It came packed so well I could barely get the gems out of the packaging (that's actually a good thing). Unlike many of the reviews with the tiny gem jars, my gems came in a nice GemMart USA gift bag; inside that bag was a plastic bag with a nice silver painted jewelry bag inside. Inside the jewelry bag were 2 individually packaged 50ct (approx) parcels which were in turn packed in small plastic bags taped shut (!!!! I couldn't get the tape off, had to carefully cut them open) with tiny ziploc bags inside them, then with the actual gems in the ziploc baggies. There was no chance of any of the stones being lost or broken during shipment. Suprisingly, or maybe not so, each of the two 50ct parcels (totalling 100.2ct) are almost identical in content (see photos). Both contain Swiss blue topaz, prasiolite (purple amythest heated to green), amythest, smokey quartz, lemon quartz, garnet, peridot, citrine, what appears to be carnelian, what appears to be green onyx, and a couple unknown stones that may be phrenite (I'll have to test them), and 1 stone each I can't even being to guess at (yaaaay! I get to pull out my testing tools!). There are some decent sized stones, but the bulk are tiny; 3.5mm round & 3 x 6mm marquise cut. It will give me an opportunity to work on pave and tiny settings. I'm sure I'll be able to use them for something! Overall, I'm just thrilled with the parcel and will certainly buy again in the future! UPDATE: All stones are accounted for. After testing, what I thought was phrenite was merely heavily rutilated lemon quartz. The other stone was a very pale smokey quartz.

For the price this is a great deal. I got about 20 gems or more of all different shapes and sizes. None where broken or chips. I will be paying more. Now remember they are not high dollar gems here but for under $20 they are pretty nice. I highly recommend

Very happy with what got . For 16.99 I hog about 20 gems . Perfect size for wire wrapped rings. All them were beautiful nice color no damage the facets are nice . I just ordered another set and will continue to order from this company. Highly recommend

We bought these to practice stone setting with a real variety of stones and shapes. For that they are okay. Initially we were pretty pleased with the stones. We tested them with a variety of tools and they are what they say they are. Color was decent. After receiving some other stone lots including this stores Etsy "AA Grade" lot we were a bit less pleased. Overall for this "A+ Grade" lot I'd say 1/3 were unusable or mediocre. Either chipped, internally cracked, broken stones or just badly cut. Good for practice or decoration but not good enough to sell. Of the remaining 1/3 were okay and suitable for smaller settings like rings while the last 1/3 were nice quality good enough as center pieces for large rings or pendants. Their more expensive Etsy lots had more usable stones but also a higher price point that washed out the cost per stone to be similar. Competitor lots had even more usable stones but were a bit lighter in color for what we got there with a similar price point. That said 2/3 of the lot being usable in our opinion still leaves with stones that cost you less than a buck each for material costs if you are setting and selling your work. That's a solid price point for our markets. Their AA lot cost more and had a few more more usable pieces. Average stone price average is about the same if you go that route. Of the lots we got the bad stones had the highest feeling of this was a stone cutters first time having a go at it. The other lots certainly had stones like that but less overall. We just combined the like stones with the other lots. These added some deeper colored stones to our mix. Not a bad purchase and an inexpensive way to start locating suppliers and learning what to look for. We will end up using a different supplier moving forward but these are a way to get going. If you aren't setting stones or selling and just want some shiny gems the majority of these will fit that bill. Just keep in mind these are jewelry gemstones so will range from ~3mm to maybe 10mm. They are smaller than you think. *Edit* We tested the stones with a variety of methods, RI, SG, thermal value, polariscope and they all test as real. No glass that we found. I will say based on a few of the comments the stones are the 10 common stones listed in the description. There were no surprises there. Basically the common semiprecious varieties that all the various gem lot sellers offer.

Many of the gems in this order, have flaws thru out them... highly noticeable, and un-appealing. Very disappointed...

You get what you pay for! Stones are real and some have tiny chips or inclusions and the facets aren’t perfect. They’re very pretty and fun for getting into jewelry making.

I bought the $30(ish) bag of these for my two sons to split amongst themselves because they've got crow and/or ferret tendencies and like to collect (ahem...hoard) shiny things LOL These did not disappoint! Every single one was absolutely beautiful and we love them - they even gave me one that was my birthstone (aquamarine) as a thank you. Will definitely purchase more in the future!

I am not a professional jeweler so this is an opinion of a regular person who ordered these gemstones for a beginner class I’m taking where I needed some stone to practice setting. As others have mentioned some are very tiny but it suits my needs. A fee are chipped, 1 totally broken, a few have inclusions visible with the naked eye. I don’t know anything about determine if they are fake or not but seems like if they were fake there wouldn’t be chips or inclusions. Over all I am happy with the variety of colors and shapes since that was my main concern. I got a few heart shapes too. I don’t think there’s anywhere else where you will get this variety for this price. It also came with a book explaining that each stone was.

Reading the reviews I didn't know what to expect but for my uses it was for a few crafts. I'd say 90% of the gems had some sort of small imperfection I'm assuming that they were pulled from the manufacturing process for this reason then sold as after market however was able to fix most of them with a buffer dremel. I did receive lots of very tiny ones I think I'd much prefer a few bigger to medium ones In place of the small ones just easier to work with however lovely they are. If your someone who is looking for perfect gemstones I would not recommend however if you want them for crafting or other things then it's a good buy. I also don't recall receiving any red garents or blue topaz. Overall I'm happy I'll order again

In this lot I got damaged pieces and 20 pieces of very small 2 mm to 6 mm

No me gustó nada, son diminutas, parecen de plástico, es más hay piedras mas bonitas en plástico, dinero tirado no me sirven para nada, no hay pares, ni cumple ninguna de las descripciones. Le puse una estrella porque la entega fue anticipada.

Absolutely a wonderful lot of polished mixed gems, a full five star plus! were amethysts but also peridots and Rubies as well Aquamarine a stunning one and Emeralds and more and more really very diverse in size and totally nice mixed and well shipped as well, super recommend!

I am extremely unhappy with this product. I have purchase several other lots of gemstones exactly like this from other seller's and been very happy. These stones are absolute garbage, and unusable for jewellery. I tried to contact the seller, but they did not respond to messages.
