Ikamefa,
Nigeria is blessed with lots of Gemstones.
I sell both rough and faceted Gemstones.The Rough gemstones are directly from mining sites and bought be lapidaries and gem dealers. These are then sent to lapidaries where they are cut/polished and atimes treated to facet Gemstones. It is these facet gemstones that are then mounted in rings, necklaces etc.
I sell rough gemstones like white topaz, green tourmaline, pink tourmaline,amethyst, citrine, almandine garnet, spessartite garnet, blue sapphire etc. I also sell faceted pink morganite,mined from nigeria which was cut and polished in Sri-lanka.
Of course, buying directly from Nigeria is far cheaper than buying from dealers abroad.
Do let me knowwhich ones you need.

Poske:
Sure,there are cutters in Nigeria.I have friends that facet gemstones but best custom cut is by Sri-Lankas, though some chinese lapidaries also have automated but not-too-professional cut.
In terms of quantity, which of the stones do you require?

Ikamefa:
You can send me an email and i will send you pictures of rough gemstones i sell. The unpolished ones are called rough gemstones.they are sold per gram or per Kg. The polished stones are sold in carats.
Do you own a jewellery shop or you intend to sell to jewellery manufacturers/designers who will then polish them?

Moved to fashion section. Are you sure you can distinguish between these 'gemstones' and plastics?

hello all,
yes seun you r right, sometimes dealers sell cut bottles to you as gemstones. i know this because my hubby owns consolidatedgems ltd. sometimes they even sell you very included stones which can't facet investment gemstones. anyways anybody that wants to be adviced can consult me for free, if you go buy from me o! lol
besides gemstones are expensive, so you don't have to throw your cash on the wrong ones. FYI,,, we do diamonds on request too.
