About Gem Center USA

Welcome to Gem Center USA! We are a leading wholesale distributor of break-open geodes, semi-precious stones, crystals, and lapidary materials sourced from Mexico, Central America, and around the world. Our extensive product line includes geodes, geode crackers, cabochons, beads, spheres, pyramids, gemstone jewelry, bookends, arrowheads, mineral specimens, and rough lapidary materials.

We are a third-generation family-owned and operated business, proudly serving the industry since 1962. We own and operate the Las Choyas Mine in Chihuahua, Mexico — home to the highest quality break-open geodes in the world.

We stand behind our products. Our hollow geodes are 95% guaranteed to be hollow.
