The site administrators are dishonest I have had only bad experiences with stones from this website and when I complained the admin SUSPENDED MY ACCOUNT!!!! this is very dishonest behavior! GEM STONE SHERIFF IS A SCAM THERE IS NO WAY THEY CAN GRADE A STONE FROM PICTURES THE SELLERS GIVE THEM!! THIS IS TO GIVE YOU A FALSE SENSE OF SECURITY!! OVER PRICED RUBBISH BETTER OF GOING LOCAL AND PAYING FOR GENUINE PRODUCTS!! I DID NOT PAY $200USD I PAID $450USD which is above retail price you are dishonest!!!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WARNING DO NOT TRUST THIS SITE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have had 2 very bad experiences with this site now and I will never use it again I'm sick of getting ripped off by the sellers on Gemrockauctions.com its a joke. I hope you all read this before considering a purchase. the first experience was I bought a sapphire the seller told me the value of the stone was in the $7500AUD range I paid $3200AUD. once the gem arrived I could see problems in the stone when it was supposed to be clear and only visible under 10+x magnification but is was clearly graded far higher than reality. before purchasing I asked for an independent check on the stone from Gemrockauctions !!!BEWARE GEMSTONE SHERIFF!!! this feature on this site is complete fantasy there is no way they can check the stone from some photos that the seller has put up this is a complete lie!! the result was that they confirmed the sellers value and that to stone was listed correctly! I did the smart thing and took the stone to a registered gem valuation business and they valued the stone at a maximum of $750AUD for insurance purposes then Gemrockauctions and the seller tried to convince me I was still wrong and the valuation was to low! I don't care mabey it was low but there is no way in hell they got it wrong by 90% of the value! after getting screwed around for about 7-8 weeks and sending the low-grade stone back at my own risk again! I received a refund but I lost around $200USD in postage and the $150 for the valuation for nothing. after this gemrockauctions gave me a credit of $200 off my next purchase if i removed my negative review which I didn't want to take but I thought it was better than losing my money completely. so a couple of weeks ago I purchased a diamond for $450USD once it arrived I took it to my longtime jeweler and diamond Valuation expert and once again I'm left RIPPED OFF I have paid well over the RETAIL value for a stone that's colour and clarity was incorrectly listed to be better than reality. the stone was listed as VS but there were inclusions all through the stone and visible to the naked eye! the colour was listed as GH-WHITE, in reality, it was J far from the listed GH! now i will probably have to send it back on my own dollar for another chance to be ripped off by another seller! the sellers on this site must bank on the fact that most people wont get the stones valued and are happy with what the get little do they know they are being ripped off. If you risk purchasing anything from this overpriced website make sure you take it to get valued from an official gem testing business because you will find you have probably been ripped off like i have been TWICE!!!!!!!! After trying to log in this morning instead of writing to me trying to solve the issue of being ripped again I have had my Account suspended! DO NOT USE THIS SITE THEY ARE NOT HONEST! They are claiming I paid $200USD which is incorrect I paid $450USD there was no discount given only a $200 credit because I was ripped off from my last purchase.

I love GemRockAuctions! It is one of the best places to get incredible deals on precious gemstones. The bidding process is very fair and there are plenty of no reserve auctions as well. The website is very user friendly and I highly recommend it. Thank you! <3

It’s an exciting, lively website. I love that there is a Gem Sheriff so we can request for an audit. Maybe one area of improvement can be the creation of a tab that allows people to go directly to all items for sale; under non-auction. It’ll make browsing those items much easier for those who don’t always know what they want until they see it.

Wow! Most beautiful Tourmaline I have ever seen! Seller could not have been more helpful. Helped me understand Tourmalines and the certification process. Don't know if I am supposed to mention the specific seller but I feel I must. Cor Gems YOU ROCK! (pun intended). Cor Gems and Gem Rock Auctions you are the best!

Huge variety, honest descriptions. Something for everyone. Only downside is that you might have to wait over 20+ days for cost effective shipping, before your little gems arrive.

I am sure that you do your best to offer genuine,natural,and untreated gem stones to ones who are expecting to buy such gem stones,and you have made necessary arrangements to negotiate with buyers bona fide. My opinion is always insist sellers to collect their oayments by PayPal as it protects the buyer,and seller as well,and who ever does not abide is unreliable,and brings discredit to Gem Rocks,and also please make insurance,and shipping (Tracked) mandatory. Good luck !

I want to thank the development team and the owner of the site for this resource.due to the presence of this site and residents of different states, it became possible to touch the beautiful because Precious and semiprecious stones have become more accessible for both buyers and sellers, who by their hard work search for these stones and process them. the chain of intermediaries has decreased and everyone is happy, except for dealers.

I have found Gem Rock Auctions (GRA) a great platform for finding gem dealers of very high calibre. I note : TLCGems, Gemland, FoxHopGems & Gems 2000 as particular favourites. I have bought from each & have also done returns for refund without problem. TLC is a particular favourite. Terri provides friendly, personal service & offers a wealth of knowledge on sourcing high quality gemstones on request. Her gems are a cut above. GRA only allow the most forthright to sell on their site & these mentioned, especially TLC are truly of the first water.

I have had dealings with Gemrock and TLC Gems over several years: I know the site to be fully aware of their obligations to consumers and taking all steps to safeguard in what is a complex market ..stones can be affected by any manner of assessments depending on the local market, origin, and not least personal taste..like paintings. TLC have always placed great store on cutting and some stones enhanced by skilled cutting will carry a premium. In my experience even stones fully certified by companies not known to the buyer's locality, dealers or auction houses will not carry huge sway with the latter so at the end of the day it is whether you trust TLC gems 'assessment and belief in their offerings and I do.
