If you are reading this article, I am sure you know the astronomical value of high quality loose gemstones, but you might not clearly know why they are so expensive and how to get them much cheaper than what you can get from a loose gemstones retailer. After reading this article, you'll be able to buy loose high quality gemstones for very low prices and you can collect them from an investment point of view and make money, rather than collecting them just for fun.

Let's look at the pricing of gemstones in detail. What determines the final price of a high quality gemstone? In order to understand this, you must study the chain that supplies the gemstones to your local neighborhood. Let's take a look at this in detail.

Many loose gemstone mines are located in third world countries and the actual miners do not really know the rarity and value of the gemstones. Local miners usually are cheap workers, who just do this for a living for everyday money, so they just want the cash for the stones. This will mean that knowledgeable merchants living close to those miners will buy the stones at a cheaper price for cash and that is level one. Those merchants then sell to other knowledgeable buyers, which is level 2 and so on, until it reaches the central market. Every level will mean significant markups, which will increase the final price of the gemstones. An Australian gemstone mine found that their gemstones passed 6 significant levels before it reached the final retail purchaser.

Think logically - the gemstone market price today is the price at which you buy the gemstones from your retailer, minus one level. They will always buy back from you at a price close to what they could get from their supplier. This creates enormous opportunities for you as a gemstone investor. What if you can buy the gemstones two levels below the market price? It will be an easy sell in the market, right? While it is common sense to understand this, people do not take the actual time to think about it.

What this literally means to you is to buy direct from the countries where the mines are located, which will mean that you can buy at least two levels below the market price. If you have some skill to evaluate the quality and value of gemstones effectively, you are leaving loads of cash on the table. Go, fly to those gem countries and buy from there!

An alternative is to find a trusted supplier of gemstones from a country where the gemstone mines are located, and this is an option many investors use effectively today since the Internet is helping the cause and technology is available to closely depict the original appearance of the natural gemstones. If you take this route, always be cautious since you are not dealing face-to-face, take every caution to avoid scams. Importantly, ask for money-back guarantee upon manual inspection by you upon the reception of the stone in post / bank. Good sellers will always adhere to this condition since they have trust in their stones and in business for a long time. If you get a good relationship going with a trusted supplier, it will be an unlimited goldmine for you, generating literally unlimited cash. If you need a trusted partner to supply loose gemstones from the sources, I can help you. I come from Sri Lanka, a country which has thousands of registered gemstone mines.

To summarize, buy gemstones from 2 levels below the supply chain of loose gemstones. The profiting potential is unlimited with this business model if implemented the right way. I am sure I opened your eyes for some new horizons.
