Can anyone give me any information about places that would buy rough gemstone?
Is there a certain type of business that will buy uncut/rough gems? or if I were to take them somewhere to get them cut is there somewhere that buys loose Cut Stones?
My husband and I went mining recently and I found an Emerald that I'd guess weighs about 1 1/2 pounds. I also found a ruby that is about 2 1/2 to 3 inchs long. I'm very interested in finding out if they're worth anything.
Thanks!! =)
I will.
Seriously though, ebay is your best friend on this one.
Just make sure that your pictures are good. 1.5 pound emerald? Don't sell that. Send it off for testing to the GIA.
Really though how much you get will depend on the quality of your rough, the easiest way to describe it. Hold it up to a light source, the more light that gets through the better your rough is. Cutting is an option but risky unless the cutter is somewhere near. The only place I've been able to locate cheaply is in Thailand and I wouldn't trust my Gemstones going to the other side of the world and returning to me. This is becoming a bigger and bigger hobby, and I believe ebay is the answer for you. List your rough under collectable/mineral, rocks, Fossils or jewelry/loose gemstones
