GemCentral is an Australian owned and operated business, all the products listed on our store are the actual product you will receive which means it is in-stock and will ship from Australia.
With over 30 years experience in lapidary, fossicking, and mining, GemCentral formed as the result of the owner's life long interest in fossicking for gemstones and their cutting and polishing. The team at GemCentral also have years of engineering experience and are able to design and build most of the cutting and polishing equipment that is used for processing and polishing our stone craft products.
Wherever possible we like to travel to the mining and processing locations and using our experience we select the rough gemstone materials and products ourselves. We deal directly with the miners. We also have our local purchasing teams that are able to travel to the locations when new gemstone discoveries are made.
