GEMSTONES
We buy and sell gemstones from all around the world, including some rare and unusual types.
About the only gems we don’t deal in are Opal, however if you are looking for Opal, I can point you in the right direction.
Some of the rare types of gemstone we have are Zultanite, Amazonite, Heliodor, and unusual varieties of garnet, such as colourless Mali, Tsavorite or colour change gems.
I only deal in specimens that are gemstone related. This is because there are about 6 000 minerals worldwide!
TOURS.
Our Gemstone themed tours to Thailand and Vietnam are held twice a year in March and September.
The tours focus on gemstones and jewellery, however we also visit many major tourist centres and immerse ourselves in the local culture and food.
We take a maximum of 8 guests on tour, ensuring you get a more personalised experience.
The tours are for 15 nights each and all begin and end in Bangkok, including the Vietnam tour. There is some flexibility in the tours and this will be discussed before we leave. Tours begin at $2 750 per person and the final price depends on the exact itinerary and how many extra nights (if any) you want to book.
The tour price includes all accommodation, transfers to and from hotels, and domestic flights.
The price does not include your airfare to and from Bangkok, food and drinks, taxi and museum entrance fees.
We travel as a group, eat as a group and eat lots of street food. We ease you into the street food and I can recommend restaurants if you prefer.
We can cater for Vegetarian diets only. Celiac’s should be aware that the language barrier makes it much more difficult, however since most meals are Rice based it is possible.
Where possible we fly as both Vietnam and Thailand are large countries and we try to avoid spending too much time travelling by road.
Most days begin at 10am as not much is open before then. Some hotels provide breakfast but if not, I can show you where to go. Food and drinks are very cheap.
For more information you can call me, Andrew on 0448 190 538, send me an email andrewt1963@gmail.com or meet me in Brisbane for a coffee!
DECEASED ESTATES.
We are not Registered Valuers or Qualified Gemmologists, but we do work with people who are.
We can help assess what you have and to sell it, or give advice on how to sell it yourself and what it is likely to fetch.
If any individual stone is likely to be particularly valuable, we can arrange for it to be certified and valued.
This is sometimes necessary for gemstones but becomes critical for certain types of jewellery.
I usually offer three prices on each piece, what I would pay for it, what I would sell it for and then what you would get if you sold it yourself.
So, for example, I might offer you $100, sell it for $200 and you might get $300 if you sell it yourself.
At least this way you know what it is worth.
I DO NOT CHARGE FOR ASSESSING YOUR COLLECTION.
