The website looks like it fell out of 2005, but they do have a great selection of stones.

It was good. PHP site is old it it works good. Scrolling list is stupid. Use autocomplete there are too many stones who will scroll so long.

Smooth transaction from beginning to end, it's my first time ordering though so I don't know what to say about shipping times or product description accuracy yet.

Huge selection of gemstones. This is my go to site for gems that aren't available through online retailers like Rio or Stuller. Perfect for custom and one of a kind pieces.
