Product Description:

Madagascar has recently stirred a lot of the excitement in the international gem trade. Since 1990, small gem deposits have been discovered throughout the gem-rich island. In the last 10 years alone, many new gem deposits have been discovered throughout Madagascar, including fine sapphire and ruby. The size and scope of Madagascar's gem deposits is still not fully understood, but many experts believe that some of the richest untapped gemstone sources in the world lie somewhere on the island of Madagascar. Madagascar is the 4th largest island in the world, located in about 400 kilometers off the coast of Southeast Africa in the Indian Ocean.

To date, a wide range of colored gemstones have been discovered, not only sapphire and ruby. Some of the many other gemstone discoveries include aquamarine, emerald, garnet, chrysoberyl, color-change alexandrite, topaz, andalusite, apatite, kyanite, tourmaline, zircon, amethyst quartz and citrine quartz. Thus far, most of the Malagasy gemstones, as well as other African gems, are exported in rough form to Asia, where they are cut, processed and traded on to the world's international gem market. A significant percentage of this material passes through Chanthaburi, Thailand, the world's center for international colored gemstone trading. All experts agree that a great deal of more gemstone discoveries will be coming from Madagascar in the years to come, as many areas of the gem-rich lands remain unexplored.

Everthing about researching and ordering from Gemselect was easy and uncomplicated. In the past I had payment problems, but your customer rep, Thomas, helped me get everything right. I will continue using Gemselet in the future for these reasons.

I really enjoy browsing through GemSelect. The selection is always marvelous and I love how detailed everything is described. The only thing I noticed is that when browsing through my phone, the videos of the gems do not load. If there were more videos of the gems, that would be amazing, though I understand that is a lot of work on GemSelect's part! Checking out is also very fast and easy, and I love that the return policy is very good, though I hope I don't have to use it anytime soon.

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.

My only complaint is that there are so many beautiful and affordable stones that I get distracted from what I planned to order.
