New Arrivals Gemstones

New Arrival Gemstones — Recently Sourced, Direct From Mining Regions

New arrival gemstones at Folkmarketgems are listed as soon as stock reaches our warehouse from active mining sources. This collection includes facet-grade rough, mineral specimens, lapidary rough, raw crystals, and loose cut gemstones sourced directly from Pakistan, Afghanistan, Kenya, Mozambique, Rwanda, and Brazil. Stock rotates as new material arrives. Every product listed here is a recent addition — not clearance, not restocked inventory.

How to Choose the Right Product

Each listing includes the exact weight in carats or grams, origin, product type, and price. Use these guidelines to select the right product:

• For faceting: look for listings tagged as Faceting Rough — these are translucent to transparent with cutting yield noted in the description.
• For display: look for Mineral Specimens — these have intact matrix and natural crystal form.
• For cabochon or carving work: look for Lapidary Rough listings — lapis lazuli, tsavorite, hackmanite, and haüyne are currently available.
• For rare collector stones: filter by UV Reactive or Rare Stones tags — haüyne, hackmanite, pargasite, and triplite are currently listed.
• For bulk deals: check listings with multiple weight variants — amethyst, heliodor, and lapis lazuli have bulk options.
