I needed a very specific color of tourmaline and Gem Select had it. I had to get the client to agree and then ordered the stone. It arrived better than pictured and we all were very happy.

I visited several online loose stone shops trying to find rare stones. I finally found one that I've been looking for here, and very satisfied. Looking forward to receive the item in 3 weeks.
