I'm looking for uncut gemstones/crystal material preferably from a U.S. distributor. Does anyone know of any companies that do this? Thanks.

Answer 1

You should hunt down a lapidary club in your area.... usually the people running that will have rough stuff for sale. And if you live anywhere in the West, try Quartzsite, Arizona in January, as well as Tucson, Jan and Feb.. Google it to find out the show dates, ( all the Tucson shows just closed yesterday----and be reminded that these are HUGE shows, --- of of four in the world every year.... the other three are in Tokyo, Germany, and one other, I forget...... and people book hotel rooms months and months in advance.... In Quartzsite, the nearest town is Blythe, California, about 17 miles west. In Tucson, there is nary a room to be had while the Gem Show is in town. And the array of stuff in Tucson will boggle your mind ----People bring things from all over the world, and come from all over the world.... the traffic is horrid, but the deals are super. If you had to pick one, go to Tucson for a week.... Lots of people make it an annual event. The catalogs are an inch thick...... everything from exquisite jewelry, beads, carvings from Africa, to rough, huge piece of amethyst, quartz, calcite, you name it, it is somewhere in Tucson the weeks of the Gem show, and areas all over the city from Starr Pass, where you need a gem wholesale lic. to get in, to stuff along the freeway that sell everything, to anyone ----to south of the city in Electric Park, to the Holiday Inn on South Palo Verde.... the place jumps with rocks. Good luck . Google it ------ Tucson+ Gem show
