These are all high quality gems from our regular collection, more than 750 items in all. Due to overstock, we are reducing inventory in some varieties, and are offering these gems at significant discounts.

You'll find a wide range of gem varieties, literally from Amethyst to Zircon, including Ruby, Sapphire and Tsavorite and Spessartite Garnet. We also have rare varieties, including Pezzottaite, Sphene, Idocrase, Rhodochrosite and Grandidierite.

You'll also find a large number of gemstone lots and suites, perfect for creative jewelry projects. We've also included a number of large gemstone carvings, many over 500 carats.

With so many fine Closeout Gems to choose from, we've added some additional sorting options to help you browse these. In addition to price and weight, you can also sort by gem type, shape and lots/pairs.

News from AJS and the Gems World


Aquamarine is the Birthstone for March

Aquamarine, the blue or turquoise variety of the mineral beryl, is the birthstone for the month of March.  It is one of the classic colored gemstones, valued for its very good hardness and superb transparency. Aquamarine evokes the colors of the sea and the sky like few other gems, and has traditionally been a symbol of youth, health, hope and serenity.

15.90 ct Aqumarine Emerald Cut 5.60 ct Aquamarine Pear 6.02 ct Aquamarine Oval

You'll find that Aquamarines are often offered in larger sizes, with many specimens over 5 carats. The larger stones tend to have a richer color because of the longer light path. Though large Aquamarines are not uncommon, top grade stones of good color are rare and valuable in sizes over 10 carats.

 
 

Ask the Gem Experts

Each month we answer questions from our customers. We welcome your questions and you can submit a question from our contact page.

What is your return policy on the closeout gems? Can I return or exchange one of these gems if I need to? NP, UK

Our guarantee and return policy on Closeout Gems is exactly the same as our regularily priced gems -- we guarantee our gems to be exactly as described, and we have a 14 day return period on all purchases. For details, read our Return Policy

 

This might seem like a strange question, but can I name a gem I purchase from you, and have the name appear on the certificate you send with the gem? MC, USA

Yes, if you would like to personalize your gem by giving it a name that is meaningful to you, please let us know when you place your order. We will then include the name on our AJS Gems certificate that accompanies your gem.

 

 

All the best in gems,
