This trade runs in our family.
Long before this website existed, our fathers were already in it, sourcing rough gemstones and selling them the way it's always been done: directly, person to person.
We grew up watching that world, and we learned it.
The sourcing, the grading, what separates a good stone from an ordinary one, that knowledge didn't come from a course or a catalog. It came from years inside the trade itself.
What we noticed is that this knowledge rarely left the room it was learned in. African Gem Finds exists to change that, so anyone, anywhere, can find their way to that conversation.
Rough, unprocessed gemstones. Nothing cut, nothing altered.
We deal exclusively in rough gemstones sourced from across Africa. Every piece shown on this site is sold as-is, in its natural state, whether you're buying for cutting, collecting, or wholesale resale.
Everything here is for viewing. Buying happens person to person.
We don't process purchases through the website. If something catches your eye, message us directly and we'll talk through the details, answer your questions, and handle the sale and shipping directly with you.
Personally inspected, not passed along unchecked.
We're not a marketplace listing stones we've never seen. We come from a family already inside this trade, which means direct sourcing, fair pricing, and a real understanding of what we're selling.
Four steps, same as it's always been done.
Everything here is for viewing only. To actually buy, you deal with us directly.

From first-time collectors curious about rough stones, to jewellers and cutters who need consistent wholesale supply, we work with anyone who wants real, direct access to African rough gemstones.
We'd rather under-promise and over-deliver than oversell a stone. If we're not sure about something, we'll tell you.
