Pyrite is one of the few shiny, metallic gemstones available today. It is often referred to as Fool's Gold in the trade. A rare variety of pyrite found only in Russia is Rainbow Pyrite, which is a fairly recent find that is traded in drusy form. Pyrite is named for the Greek word for fire, since it's known to produce sparks when struck with steel. Pyrite is an opaque gemstone that is cut en cabochon and exhibits an attractive metallic luster. Pyrite deposits can be found in Peru, Bolivia, Romania, Sweden, Mexico, and the United States.

Gem select has a great selection of Gems, very defined pictures of item and easy process to filter down selection including, gem, color, type, size and weight.
I had a limited budget and wanted a star ruby. GemSelect offered small, but pretty stones at a very reasonable price. I've always been satisfied with my GemSelect purchases, although there are also eBay vendors I use for less expensive gems. Their selection of more expensive stones, like rubies, is very limited, however.
I decided recently to start a gemstone collection! I searched online for a reputable gem merchant and found gem select! Their selection is gorgeous and I’m excited to receive my first package! Checkout was a breeze!
