25.01.2022 If you had moment, one opportunity... We travelled all the way to Vietnam to find the famous cobalt blue spinels. And find them we did A casual 6hr bus ride from Hanoi we found our treasure and wasted no opportunity to snap a couple up so we could share them with you. We love gemstones, we love adventure and we love sharing it all with you!

22.01.2022 Rhodolite garnet is a real showstopper! A mixture of pyrope and almandine garnets, this gemstone type is bold, bright and affordable.

22.01.2022 Gemstones represent all of the colours of the rainbow. It's the ones that take your breath away... those are Amara Gemstones.

21.01.2022 The awesome foursome! A lovely set of four pink garnets. Continuing on our Valentine's theme, they are a sparkly dusky pink. They do come with some rutile needle and other inclusions and 1 has a chip on the table. They are priced accordingly.

21.01.2022 The wind is cold, but the gems are HOT! This 0.98ct dusky pink spinel is warming our hearts on this chilly Sunday evening. What are you doing to stay warm tonight?

20.01.2022 Why have one, when you can have two? Over 7cts (total carat weight) of lucious deep purple amethyst. So tasty and addictive. Ripe for the picking for some statement drop earrings. Perfect for the woman who is confident in her appearance and bold with her words. Step up and step out!

20.01.2022 Friends, this is a truly remarkable stone. This bright ruby red coloured spinel was the very first stone we purchased for Amara, in Chiang Mai Thailand. I was instantly captivated by its rich colour and extraordinary clarity. We've been to the spinel markets in Vietnam and I'm still yet to see a stone that offer this particular rich colour that rivals - or some say 'outshines' - a ruby. Swipe for video.

19.01.2022 We have been waiting to post these! Such beauty, such grace. Classic deep purple amethyst. A matched, but not calibrated, pair of pears with some unique colour banding. Ready for some killer statement earrings or just two amazing projects. If I didn't need to pay for my own gem addiction (and coffee), I might keep them.

17.01.2022 Tiny but mighty! This reddish pink spinel is full of fire. Just under half a carat in size, but lots of colour and sparkle.

The bright red and pink colours are some of the most highly sought after in the world. Swipe for photo in sunlight and watch our stories for the video.

16.01.2022 [SOLD] We LOVE quartz with character and this one has it in bucketloads. A large and nicely cut rutilated quartz. Keep an eye on our stories for a video of this one.

16.01.2022 2020 has been a challenging year for all of us. At Amara Gemstones we've had our own difficulties, launching just prior to when lockdowns started in our part of Australia. But... we TRULY believe in our business and the unique combination of expert knowledge and products that we offer. So we have spent the last few months pouring every spare dollar and minute into revamping the Amara Gemstones experience. We want you to love our gemstones as much as we do and feel truly sat...isfied with our guidance and support. So far we've updated our branding. A brand new website is in development and due in September. We have lot's more planned, but for now its an exciting secret (probably not for long, Julia is terrible at keeping secrets). We hope you'll continue to join us on our journey to bring you unique gemstones from locations across the world. We cannot wait to show you how hard we've been working to make Amara Gemstones the best one stop shop for your gemstone needs!

13.01.2022 This green tourmaline is a breath of minty fresh air. A classy step cut design and over 2 carats to love.
