Sell Your Gemstone

Ethiogemstone evaluates rough and cut gemstones from mining cooperatives, dealers, cutters and private sellers. Based in Dubai, buying primarily Ethiopian material.

What We're Looking For

We're most active buyers of Ethiopian gemstone material: rough or cut opal, emerald, tourmaline and sapphire. We also review other natural coloured gemstones on a case-by-case basis. We do not buy synthetic, treated-beyond-standard, or undisclosed material, and we don't publish fixed prices — every parcel is evaluated on its own merits.

How Evaluation Works

Send us a description of what you have — gemstone type, approximate weight, known origin, and any treatment or certification information — along with clear photographs. We reply personally to review whether it's a fit for us to make an offer. For larger parcels or higher-value single stones, we may ask for the material to be sent for in-person examination before any offer is made.

Who We Work With

  • Mining cooperatives & small-scale miners in Ethiopia's gemstone regions, our primary sourcing relationships.
  • Dealers with rough or cut parcels to move.
  • Cutters & lapidaries with finished stones.
  • Private sellers with individual gemstones, whether inherited, collected, or otherwise acquired.

Selling Rough vs. Cut

If your material is rough, tell us what you know about the locality it came from — this matters more for value in coloured stones than in almost any other collectible category. See how we think about rough gemstones as buyers, not just sellers.

If your material is already cut, include cut style, dimensions, and certification if you have it. See our cut & polished gemstones page for the kind of finished material we typically carry.

Gemstone Dealer, Dubai

As a Dubai-based dealer with direct Ethiopian sourcing relationships, we're positioned to evaluate material quickly and, where it's a fit, structure a straightforward transaction. If you're a gemstone dealer or trader in Dubai looking for a direct buyer, or a private seller anywhere in the world with Ethiopian material, we want to hear from you.
