With over 15 years of gemstone acquistion experience, Independence Gems prides itself on locating quality gemstones at amazing prices. We help customers to differentiate between desire vs. need, must vs. can, and to find a solution that often is more satisfying than what they were expecting. Rather than an inferior stone or a synthetic stone, we find a more creative solution--perhaps the same stone in a different color, or a different stone that looks exactly like the stone they were wanting but is much less expensive--or a completely different stone they had never heard of but is so uniquely beautiful that it just completely takes them in. Visit Independence Gems at craft fairs around Colorado Springs and ask to see a gemstone you may have heard of but never seen in person--chances are we have it with us. We bring several new, rare and unusual stones with us to every show, hoping to find new homes for them! Will you be the lucky new owner of a sphene, red topaz, diaspore, or some other gemstone?
