Gemstone Collectables

This section shows some of the wide variety that Mineshaft stocks in the polished gemstone ornamental range.

Mineshaft not only selects finished products direct from the factories but also have a lot of our own gemstone processed there. This enables us to produce new lines or improove on products and implement changes.

We send rough direct to the factories by the 200 litre drum and then sort it into the product we want manufactured. This way we can send the very best selected gem rough and produce quality products that other businesses rarely are able to offer. Some times our 'turn around time' can be over a year but we are constantly recieving new high grade stock

One of our advantages is that we are personal friends with several factory owners. These friendships were originally forged when Peter was mining opal at Mintabie. In those days he was selling opal to several Chinese buyers who later went on to other businesses and now have their own processing factories. Many of these factories have been producing our product for many years.

The postage fee is the actual postage rate we have to pay and there are no handling charges.
