I wholeheartedly recommend Brazil Gems, owned and run by wonderful couple, Marcos and his lovely wife Sabrina. Their family business in Marietta, California boasts an incredible inventory of gemstones, catering to all budgets and discerning tastes.
The story is as old as time. Two people meet and fall in love. Decades later they continue to find immense happiness acquiring and giving unusual and unique gifts to each other. After all the gift was really their love, partnership, respect, and journey.
In our case, this surprise revolved around a beautiful amethyst, and our journey began when we laid eyes on a truly magnificent piece that immediately captivated us. As we delved into the pricing, we began to appreciate why galleries can sustain themselves for months on a single sale, and thus the hunt…
Quest: Our quest for the perfect amethyst swiftly progressed through multiple phases. Phase 1 was the initial sighting and fascination. Phase 2 involved thorough investigation, while Phase 3 marked the pivotal acquisition, or at least multiple attempt attempts until we spoke with Marcos and Sabrina at Brazil Gems.
During this process, I was surprised by the informality in rating gemstones and the abundance of inaccurate information in the marketplace. Some sellers dabbled in smaller stones, highlighting their medicinal and calming properties, while others emphasized their access to specific mines in Uruguay and Brazil. Many seemed to have their unique angle, and a common theme emerged – a lack of information, unstructured pricing models, and poor inventory.
After narrowing down my search to three potential companies, I found myself in a quandary. One maintained inventory in Brazil and shipped directly to the US, another seemed to lack access to products, and the third, a large group in Texas, primarily focused on small items, with only occasional forays into larger pieces.
Amidst this uncertainty, I decided to reach out to Brazil Gems in Murrieta. My interactions with Marcos and Sabrina were enlightening, as they are extremely knowledgeable and openly shared valuable insights. After our first conversation they directed me to their website, which featured comprehensive information on each product, accompanied by a wealth of high-quality images, capturing every facet and angle in meticulous detail. What set their pictures apart was the inclusion of a common reference point, be it a standard cup or a ballpoint pen, for size comparison. This attention to detail was crucial in making an informed decision when acquiring something of such beauty and value.
Feeling compelled to explore further, I arranged a visit to Marietta to meet Marcos and his wife / co-owner, Sabrina. Their warm hospitality and generosity in showcasing their diverse product range in the warehouse made for an overwhelming yet truly delightful experience. I was warned as I entered the warehouse that the experience may cause sensory overload; IT DID! Immense beauty everywhere you looked, stored and categorized with incredible detail. Became apparent that they sell to retail customers such as myself, I truly have a large wholesale distribution business as well.
After careful consideration, I selected two exquisite pieces: a set of amethyst angel wings and a captivating amethyst heart. Both displayed deep, enchanting shades of purple, with no apparent imperfections or issues.
Care: Marcos and Sabrina not only assisted me in selecting these treasures but also shared invaluable knowledge on how to preserve their beauty and ensure their longevity. They offered guidance on displaying the pieces with the right lighting and emphasized the importance of protecting them from UV light.
Summary: I'm immensely grateful for the patience that led me to discover such trusted partners in the gemstone industry. My wholehearted recommendation goes to Brazil Gems, a business that combines unrivaled expertise, a passion for gemstones, and a commitment to customer satisfaction.

This is our fourth or fifth purchase from Brazil Gems, and once again, they’ve exceeded all expectations. The amethyst we received is spectacular — deeply saturated color, beautiful symmetry, and an incredibly polished finish. It’s a stunning addition to my wife’s growing crystal collection, and she couldn’t be happier.
Shipping was fast and incredibly secure. The piece was wrapped in multiple protective layers — it took us 10 minutes just to unwrap it, which shows the care they take in making sure their gems arrive safely. Customer service has always been prompt, professional, and a pleasure to deal with.
