Barrel Shaped Gemstones: Natural Loose Gems in Barrel Shapes

Shop for barrel-shaped gemstones from a wide selection of natural colored gems. Barrels are cylindrical in shape and can be short or long. Barrel-shape gemstones are usually longer along the curved sides of the finished gem, while the flat sides are shorter in measurements. However, nowadays this is not always the case as you can find barrel-shape gemstones that are short and stout, similar to the shape of a short mini-keg.

Barrel shaped gemstones make dramatic center stones in jewelry. No matter the cut-style, whether faceted or en cabochon, barrel gemstones look equally stunning in rings, earrings and necklace pendants. We have a wide selection of barrel shape stones, in many gem types, colors and sizes. From this page you can use our filters at the top or on the left-hand side to find barrel gems by color, shape, cut and so on. For example, select 'green' to see all of our green barrel gems. Also filter by single, pairs, lots, faceted gems and cabochons by using the check boxes at the top.

Interested in unusual stones and found many that I purchased or will purchase in the near future. I have been a customer of gem select for almost ten years and have always been pleased with buying experience and the delivered product

I placed order#384714 based on the picture on your website and the stone came in much darker. I'm sure it's the same stone i ordered but your lighting made it seem a lighter blue. I was trying to match a stone for a customer and based on the picture it would have been close enough but the stone in person is a mile off.

over the experience was similar to other sites i have used. The only real note I have is the checkout experience was tedious and discriminatory, i wouldn't accept visa gift cards, which not only have guaranteed funds but help protect from misuse of personal information, but would not accept my visa b/c it is a prepaid card. I don't have bank account and I have been using the prepaid card for years without issue so this was disappointing to me. I feel safer using reputable gem sites rather than amazon or ebay (I have been sold fake gems with fake certs on both), but not being able to use my own valid legitimate funds and having to find a friend to buy for me b/c I use a non-bank card like 40% of the country is insulting.

So many gorgeous stones! The only "complaint" I have is it's difficult to visualize sizes in mm. Perhaps some way to compare in inches?It has been a long time since I bought stones from Gem select, but the process wasn't too difficult.
