African Rough Gemstones
Author: Ikem Onwude

Gemstones have been very widely distributed by God to various nations of the world including Africa. These fascinating little treasures that add value to the owner are found in very unique unexpected areas and have been mined in Africa for several decades.

The countries in Africa that are most endowed with these treasured natural precious materials, include: NIGERIA, KENYA, TANZANIA, ZAMBIA AND SENEGAL with Nigeria been the very most endowed.

However, it is rather unfortunate to know that these vast natural resources are not properly utilized in these countries where they are found. Hence, the need to export them to countries and places where they can be put into better use especially in the jewelry industries where they are mostly used in making beads, bangles and rings meant for very unique special occasions as weddings and anniversaries.

Some of the fantastic and fascinating roughs from Africa include:

• Amethyst
• Goshenite
• Tourmaline
• Aquamarine
• Garnet
• Emerald
• Hessonite
• Zircon
• Topaz
• Sapphire
• Quartz

And a whole lot of other rough gemstones materials.

Ultimately I invest in these precious stones found in Africa because it is worthwhile and it adds value to me and my heirs. Rough collecting is definitely a profitable venture, hence I have collecting some very nice and lovely materials in my website at: http://cryativegems.com. Here you can get clean quality rough at reasonable prices.

I also collect other African crafts especially sand collages: made out of natural sand. You can view my crafts shop here: http://cryativetreasures.cryativegems.com.
