Wholesale terms
1. Wholesale eligibility
Wholesale purchasing is available to qualified buyers, including retailers, lapidary professionals, jewelry manufacturers, resellers, and approved trade partners. We may request business verification, a resale certificate, or other documents before granting wholesale access.
2. Nature of products
26Gem Minerals supplies natural gemstones and mineral materials sourced primarily from Africa. Products include rough gemstones, lapidary materials, tumbling stones, specimen minerals, and related materials. Variations in color, size, inclusions, structure, and appearance are expected and are not defects.
3. Product categories and grading
Products may be classified as gem quality (facet grade), cabochon grade, lapidary grade, tumbling grade, specimen grade, or mixed or commercial grade. Grading follows internal trade standards unless we say otherwise.
