In today's world, where almost all stones are treated, we provide a concrete source for untreated, untampered stones, where all treatments are fully disclosed, and stones have been bought by us, first hand, directly from miners!

(AN INTRODUCTION FOR OUR NEW CUSTOMERS, FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE BEEN BUYING FROM US FOR DECADES, YOU ALREADY KNOW THIS)
THIS SITE WAS BASICALLY BUILT FOR CLIENTS THAT USED TO COME DOWN TO TANZANIA AND HAVING TO WAIT FOR GOODS TO COME IN, COSTING THEM QUITE A BIT, THIS WAY WE PUT IT ALL UP ON THE SITE, GIVING EVERYONE A FAIR CHANCE TO BUY, NOW ANYONE CAN BUY FROM US!

Firstly, this business exists to make it easier for you to source gemstones directly from a mine direct source, with on-ground, ethical buying and creating sustainable 'win-win' relationships with miners that we buy from, we offer everything out here on the website, and save you the time and costs of waiting for stones to come in at source, and since we're UK based we can easily ship worldwide, safely and fast to you. Follow us on Instagram to see miner videos and how the trade works.

BASED IN, AND SELLING FROM THE UNITED KINGDOM, WITH OUR OWN BUYING OFFICE IN TANZANIA.

PLEASE NOTE, STONES ARE IN VERY SHORT SUPPLY AND YOU WILL MISS OUT IF YOU DONT BUY.

We are a small business comprising of a group of East Africans from Kenya and Tanzania, committed to sourcing and supplying the best gems as we deal directly with miners and have decades of experience in finely selecting goods as them come in. We sell and ship from the UK (where some of us are based) to solve costly and logistical issues associated in shipping directly to you from Tanzania, so don't forget you are buying from a UK company!

We sell at the same prices we would sell to a reseller/dealer (buying a few stones at a go) at, but to the general public! We also have bulk pricing for individuals wanting to buy and profitably resell consistently, which involves large bulk purchases on a regular basis, and at a price point where they can sell material on profitably. Get in touch on WhatsApp if you're interested.


Whatever you need, hear about, or see from the East African region, we can get. We are very well connected in the mining and sourcing scene in East Africa, and we are very well networked with small-scale miners.
We make it really easy for you.

All items are 100% Authentic and Gemologist selected!

ALL ARE ETHICALLY SOURCED, CORRECTLY GRADED AND PROPERLY PHOTOGRAPHED GEMSTONES, WE ARE YOUR SOURCE, AS WE BUY DIRECTLY FROM MINERS, ON A ONE TO ONE BASIS CREATING 'WIN-WIN' RELATIONSHIPS WITH THEM!!

Secure Shipping, Secure Transactions

Un-enhanced photos - All our customers say that our stones are an exact representation and look much better in person. We tell it how it is, try us and see, and become a "customer for life" like others!

We have our buying office in Arusha in Tanzania, our own office, and we sell out from the UK, it’s easier to ship parcels from here and accept payments too, it also gives a sense of security to the customer as the transaction is fully guaranteed and secure. We sell all our stones at the same price as we would if you were buying from us in Tanzania, and pride ourselves on the best quality and selection (decades of networking and experience), and acquiring the best grades as we can from the miners for you. Our main focus is for fine grades (we can provide any grade you like based on what your requirements are). We ship worldwide. Feel free to buy as many singles and small-sized lots off the website as you like (they do run out fast though, but pick as many as you can) and if you need any large lots on a continuous supply (any grade), just feel free to contact us (you can contact us at any time, not just for large lots).
We make buying of stones really easy and safe for you.

All parcels come with a tracking number and do require a signature on delivery, although you can select the NO SIGNATURE option when checking out if you're not going to be in.

Buying from us, you are buying from a guaranteed, mine direct source, and, you are also removing the risk of issues associated with buying from unverified individuals over the internet, social media etc. You are also removing the risk of buying badly described stones, where treatments done on the stones are non-disclosed and not known by the dealer. Today, almost all stones in gem centers around the world have undergone some treatment or another, in many cases, gem dealers don't know what treatment has been done, as it has passed through many hands. We provide a haven, where you don't need to worry about all of this.
