About us
Our Website has been online for 13 years, and in 2012 we are doing a major shift in what we sell. We are now www.oregonsunstonegem.com. We have changed our name and our approach to selling. Why? Currently the world is awash with fake gems. It is staggering just how extensive the deception has evolved. Major Stores are selling black sapphires as real black diiamonds. Glass Filled Rubies are being sold as natural, and of Burmese origin. Gems of almost every variety are being enhanced, treated, coated, diffused, or in some cases they are just pure synthetic fakes described as natural. It is out of control, and presents incredible challenges to legitimate gem and miineral dealers.
Therefore we are scaling back, and in a dramatic way. We are going focus on to selling Natural Gems and minerals. These would be gems that we know and can prove to have endured no enhancement. The most notable will be the Oregon Sunstone, which contains natural bearing copper and is one of the most beautiful gems in the world, and the Oregon Opal. We obtain the rough material either with our own hands from the ground, or mine direct from local Oregon miners who are currently in a desperate struggle to market their product due to the massive influx of FAKES being marketed as Oregon gems. After we populate our Websiite with Oregon Sunstones, Opals, and some beautiful natural minerals we will begin to expand our categories to include other natural materials. We love meteorites for example, so why not eventually include them, but for the time being in 2012 we will be focusing heaviily on the Oregon Sunstone and the Oregon Opal. They are stunning.
We appreciate every buyer and we take seriously all purchases regardless of how large or small. We have created a Website designed for easy navigation, purchasing, and a smooth payment process. We invite every visitor to tour the entire Website, because new items will steadily be appearing. Please note that we 100% guarantee our products. We are prepared to offer written and signed documentation that can be upheld in a Court of Law that our products are natural. We do not hope to turn back the tide of enhanced or fake gems, but we can sleep at night knowing that we at least did a small part to offer clarity, honesty plus full disclosure on every item that we sell.
Last of all we would call your attention to a number of articles on the front page of our Website. Some pertain to gems. Others address specific issues that can have an effect on our industry, and we invite the public to respond with ideas and opinions to these articles. If any potential buyer has a question we truly hope that you will contact us either through the Contact Seller page on the Website header or via direct E-Mail at sales@oregonsunstonegem.com Thank you.
