About us

Get to know us

We are a South African gemstone company passionate about the natural beauty of stones from across Southern Africa.

We source gemstones from mines and trusted suppliers throughout the region, then carefully tumble and polish them in South Africa. This process brings out each stone's natural colour, patterns, texture, and character while preserving the unique qualities that make every gemstone special.

No two stones are exactly alike. Each one has its own shape, colour, markings, and story, created naturally over millions of years and finished by hand with care.

Our mission

At VA Blue Gems, our mission is to highlight the richness of creation through responsible use of natural resources. We are committed to expanding our operations throughout Africa and internationally, with the goal of becoming a leading gemstone supplier and contributing positively to global communities through the sustainable abundance of nature.

Our vision

To become the foremost gemstone supplier globally.

How we sell gemstones

Described in full
Every piece is listed with its weight, measurements, colour, clarity, cut and, where known, its origin, so you can compare stones properly before you buy.
Treatments disclosed
Heating, oiling, irradiation: if a stone has been treated, its listing says so. Untreated stones are labelled only when we know they are.
Certified where it matters
Stones with an independent laboratory report show the laboratory and report number, and buyers receive the certificate with their order.
Shipped worldwide
Pieces are packed securely and sent with tracking. The delivery options and prices for your country are shown at checkout before you pay.
