My wife and I have been collecting gemstones for over 15 years. I have been using Gemrockauctions.com for...i don't even know...at least 5 or 6 years. I have purchased from othersites in the past and not been happy with the products or lack of honesty. I pretty much use Gemrockauctions.com exclusively if I am purchasing online. I had 2 packages this last yearnot arrive...but the first time after investigating, according to tracking, the post office delivered, but we found out that someone had been stealing packages from mailboxes...he was eventually caught and arrested. The second time...after several weeks and communicating with the sellar, he checked stiff on his end, i investigated on this end, and found that the package had been at Customes for months...which means that it was either lost at customes or stolen by someone at customes, either way it was not the fault of the sellar or the vendor. I have purchased gemstones for years and have learned many small details of what to watch for. It does not matter who you deal with, knowing what to look for saves a lot of headaches and knowing the process saves a lot of hard feelings. Also, if something doesn't look quite right, don't bid on it, it's just that simple. I am and have beed very happy with this company.

My 'Go-To' website for gemstones of all prices. Sellers are verified and if you have any questions they have a service to check what you're thinking about buying. Really good if you're new to buying gemstones and want piece of mind with your purchase.

After several years as a Gemmycorner seller with 100% ratings due to being absent for health reasons, they don't let me sell again, but only buy. They say I can't do anything to sell again without giving myself a reason. Thanks for the answer AI!

I have been purchasing from GemRock Auctions for over 5 yrs. I have purchased around 700 gems for my collection. Not every transaction has been smooth, but the team there does a very good job of assisting with complaints or issues. Occasionally I have been less than happy with a purchase but that has often been my oversight. Overall I rate this site highly and think that it is a safe place to start buying if you are new to gem buying.

I've been dealing with a seller not delivering on a $166 USD package since JANUARY which I think was on purpose, drawing it out to get past PayPal's dispute window. I didn't know this at the time so I went with it, was polite and patient about it but it's clear I'm not getting my package. The seller said I'd for sure get a refund by today, no surprise there is no refund and the seller has gone silent. Zero support from the website either, and I've messaged several times. Save your money, this site is a scam.

I'm currently going through trying to get a refund on an $85 garnet I ordered. Seller sent me the wrong stone, admitted he did, than tried to get me to spend more money by paying extra to get the garnet I ordered and keep this wrong one too OR, at my own expense (minimum $35) ship this wrong item back and then he'll ship out the correct one. I refused to do either. If a seller sends you an item you did not order or the wrong item it is their responsibility to pay to ship it back. He did agree to refund me for the purchase, but I've also filed a dispute with my credit card because I do not trust him. It's been an ugly experience with me having to photograph and screenshot everything as proof. I would never use this site again.

I was very reluctant at first to bid at gem rock but after doing 3 bids winning 2 I now own 2 beautiful gems as described within time frame. I will definitely be doing it again soon.

I was originally looking for Opals but then realized they have an entire gemstone website. I placed some bids on an item from a seller to see what the process was like. Everything went very smoothly and I am now the owner of a green Aventurine that I got for a steal. Now onto a bigger purchase!

I must say that I am lucky to have found gemrock and the only trusted site to buy gems is StarRuby. I bought beautiful genuine emeralds from them and very pleased. Harshil is very kind and helpful. He walked me through the whole process of buying a gem. Thank you so much

This site seems to have stopped allowing buyers to read the feeback and reviews of seller that were left by other buyers. They use to, and it's important part of building trust. I have bought, and tried to buy many gems on this site. Some great experiences, and some horrible ones too. So without the ability to see what other buyers are saying about a seller I will no longer use this site.

This site is frequented by gem lovers. Sellers are really good and I believe to be well screened by gemrockauctions. It is a pity all sellers do not agree to the same payment terms. I'd like to have a few days to pay in order to benefit from combined postage.

I spend more time at GRA than any other online auctions, I love the fact that so many bargains can be made with your company, whether that be opals, rough,gemstones, jewelery, coins,Minerals, rare rocks, the variety is amazing, the sellers are very quick to reply to any of my concerns, I love the gemstone audit sheriffs who can verify if something is to good to be true. Only regret I have is that I wish I found you Guy's earlier, On a good note; my mother has stopped watching Tictok videos, & goes to Gem Rock Auctions instead, Lots of love, please keep up the great work, yours faithfully Omar.S.

I bought an emerald, paid by Paypal, with delivery in 7 days. After 14 days, the seller still did not send my stone, and when I asked for help from the support, he offered several times: communicate directly with the seller.

The internet platform offers a great service, to find and buy nearly all types of gemstones on the planet and for reasonable prices. There're also sellers and buyers from all over the world. Buying via internet isn't always the safest thing to do but on GemRockauctions if you didn't come to an agreement with the seller you can contact the website staff and they're really quick and straight to the point with help. The payment methods are safe and I haven't had any problems to the day. Big thumbs up for this Australian enterprise.

I recently purchased a Mahenge garnet from Gem Rock Auctions, and I have to say that my experience with them was fantastic! The whole process of searching for and bidding on the gemstone was smooth and hassle-free. I was able to easily browse their selection of high-quality gemstones and find exactly what I was looking for. When my Mahenge garnet arrived, I was blown away by its beauty and quality. The gemstone was even more stunning in person than it was in the pictures. I could tell that Gem Rock Auctions takes great care in ensuring that the gemstones they sell are of the highest quality and authenticity. Overall, I am extremely satisfied with my experience with Gem Rock Auctions and my purchase of a Mahenge garnet. I would highly recommend this online marketplace to anyone looking to purchase high-quality gemstones.
