Thank you form mentioning that about China and gemstones! There is such a stigma because there have been fakes but unfortunately there are fakes everywhere. So many stones and minerals are mined in China and get great deals because they are locally mined. You just have to do a little research and ask friends and those you might follow for hints and tips. ✌💜💎💫
