+FLIPPER&CO Posted May 10, 2008 Posted May 10, 2008 These look great, and would make great FTF prizes. We like to pu FTF pins or an unactived coin in our new caches. Would love to add these. Any idea on who will be the selected supplier? Cheers Gayle & Mark Quote
+Tschakko Posted May 10, 2008 Posted May 10, 2008 That is a great idea with the FTF prices. I think if they are cheap enough I will be ordering a bunch of the too Quote

+CacheHunters42 Posted July 4, 2008 Author Posted July 4, 2008 They are 1 1/8" across the table and 0.75" deep. Quote
RedShoesGirl Posted July 4, 2008 Posted July 4, 2008 They are 1 1/8" across the table and 0.75" deep. so just the table is 1 1/8" - and that is not the full width of the gem? that makes them pretty big! lara Quote
+sweetlife Posted July 4, 2008 Posted July 4, 2008 Can someone that purchases these please take a picture and post one of these gems next to a quarter or something so that we have something to compare these to in size before we decide to purchase any. Thank You Barry and Valarie in sweetlife Quote

Thank You Barry and Valarie in sweetlife what great idea, i think you should do just that! or perhaps the sellers can do that. lara Quote
+ThePetersTrio Posted July 4, 2008 Posted July 4, 2008 I got one of each. I love the idea for FTF. Can't wait to see them. Quote
+Toojin Posted July 4, 2008 Posted July 4, 2008 Here are the Gems with a ruler so you can see how big they are. Quote
+midnightrosefashions Posted July 4, 2008 Posted July 4, 2008 they are cool, but i know i would want some kind of tag on mine. the tag can look just as pretty as the gem Quote
+CyberChemist Posted July 10, 2008 Posted July 10, 2008 I got mine today! Sooooo sparkly! I love the tiny velvet pouches they come in. Quote
+hollora Posted July 10, 2008 Posted July 10, 2008 These are very cool - can't wait for mine to arrive. They would make great birthday, anniversary, Christmas - whatever presents for the Geocaching lady in your life! Quote
+fairyhoney Posted July 10, 2008 Posted July 10, 2008 they are cool, but i know i would want some kind of tag on mine. the tag can look just as pretty as the gem These are nice, especially the middle, then the 3rd. Quote
+fairyhoney Posted July 10, 2008 Posted July 10, 2008 OH, I got mine in the mail today. OOOOOOO, I LOVE the way the sun shining through it makes the "prism" effect . . . Totally Awesome ! ! ! Quote
+burgessfour Posted July 11, 2008 Posted July 11, 2008 (edited) We got ours today too and love them!!! I am having trouble figuring out where to get the activation codes on the CH website-can anyone help me out (maybe I'm just blind ) Editing: I see it now, never mind.... Edited July 11, 2008 by burgessfour Quote
+FLIPPER&CO Posted July 19, 2008 Posted July 19, 2008 Got ours this week would love to see Ameythst, Aquamarine, Tourmaline and Citrine colours, they would be fantastic. We'll be keeping a set, but releasing a couple and give the rest away in caches or at an upcoming event. Very neat idea. Cheers Gayle & Mark Quote
lorca.nl Posted July 20, 2008 Posted July 20, 2008 i got mine in my mail and boy what was i suprised. they are bigger than i expected but so BEAUTIFUL Quote
+Boom!pa Posted July 20, 2008 Posted July 20, 2008 I'm surprised Groundspeak gave the ok as its not a "geocoin". Looks nice but Ive seen swag that looks just like it (Dont want them to go missing. It's amazing how much Groundspeak is wiling to bend their rules.A little less than a year ago when i was developing my Painting for Cache geotrackable item,I wanted the airbrush to be completely 3-d.In esessence a miniture airbrush.I suppose i should count my lucky stars let me do one side of it dimensional....Honestly,i would have to say that a coin is not a coin unless it's round. They do look neat however..... i have to disagree with ya about 'a coin is not a coin unless it's round" we currently have made a square coin (mariobros block) and it everybit a coin as a round one!!

+CacheHunters42 Posted October 17, 2008 Author Posted October 17, 2008 New GeoGems™ now available: Citrine GeoGem™ Pink Teardrop GeoGem™ Quote
RedShoesGirl Posted October 17, 2008 Posted October 17, 2008 ooooo Pink! And the citrine is the closest to my birthstone. I don't like you oooh the pink is right. and i don't like you! but i had to buy two pink ones. i love pink. heck, i look great in pink! these are cool and the new shape, awesome! i wish they would put the tracking number somewhere else other than the table. lara Quote
+kimba off track Posted October 17, 2008 Posted October 17, 2008 I got a set and now I will add to it. I love the gems..keep the colors coming.. The are very nice and bigger then you think Quote
+mousekakat Posted October 17, 2008 Posted October 17, 2008 OOOHH! I've got an almost 9 year old that's gonna do flips to get one of those pink ones! *debating showing her the page or not* Naomi Quote
+CacheHunters42 Posted December 20, 2008 Author Posted December 20, 2008 Inroducing the newest GeoGem™, Black Diamond Now available HERE. Quote
+mousekakat Posted December 20, 2008 Posted December 20, 2008 I'm so glad that this thread popped back up to the top! A couple of months ago Hanna received one of these, a pink one, as a gift, and I just can't say how impressed I am with them! They are bigger than I thought they'd be and they have a lot more heft and weight to them! The sparkle is just gorgeous and Hanna carried it around for two days, after first doing the Hanna Happy Dance all over the living room floor, which consists of a little girl screaming, holding it and jumping like a madwoman! Can't recommend these enough, especially as gifts!! Naomi Quote
+mickebush77 Posted December 21, 2008 Posted December 21, 2008 Inroducing the newest GeoGem™, Black Diamond Now available HERE. very nice diamond i gone make some great jewel in my home foundry with this one. Quote
+BBI Dragon Posted February 8, 2009 Posted February 8, 2009 I've bought and got the ruby and it's very nice. I have coming the citrine and emerald and will be adding the sapphire and maybe the diamond to my collection in the near future. I don't much like the black geogem. As for releasing them into the wild, into the field, not a chance. Around here (Northern Oregon/SW Washington) hitch hikers on TB end up missing from time to time, way to many geocoins end up missing in action and I can just imagine that a pretty gem like these would end up the same, in someone's personal collection. Geocaching is like any other activity, there will be those that are unethical, dishonest and thefts. What I am considering is one or two ideas. Affixing a gem or two to a walking staff so that other cachers might discover them when we meet. I can also log them in and out of caches to get some miles on them. I have also seen a few geocoin owners create laminated photocopies of their coins to let out in the wild rather than risk them being stolen. This might be done with these geogems as well. Quote
RedShoesGirl Posted February 8, 2009 Posted February 8, 2009 i have a couple of these as gifts and bought a few to give away. i think they are really pretty! the citrine one is not one i would have chosen for myself, yellow not my fave colour, but it is really nice! your idea of mounting one on a walking staff is a great one! i am going to give that a try. rsg Quote
+cache_in_hand Posted February 8, 2009 Posted February 8, 2009 The website for these indicate that they will be in stock by 12/08? Anyone know if they are producing more? Quote
+nefesh Posted February 8, 2009 Posted February 8, 2009 The website for these indicate that they will be in stock by 12/08? Anyone know if they are producing more? On the getting started forum, people are talking about getting orders the last few days. Are they backlogged that far? Quote
+GATOULIS Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 So... til now we have the diamond, the ruby, the emerald, the sapphire, the citrine, the pink teardrop, and the black diamond... right?? Does anyone know how many from each were made??? I can not find it anywhere!!!! Is there a possibility that the number is open??? Oh, and something else! A good friend of mine, gave me as a present the ruby and the emerald! The ruby is smaller than the emerald!! YOu can clearly see it!!! Are all ruby's like that??? Quote
Crazyway Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 I just ordered mine a ruby, Its my birthstone. I think its kind of cool Quote
+BBI Dragon Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 I took my three GeoGems to a Geocaching event yesterday evening here in Portland, OR and no one had seen, let alone heard of them before. It was fun to have something unique for discovery. I have the Citrine, Ruby and Emerald. Quote
+sunsetmeadowlark Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 Mom got me a pink one for Valentine's Day. I'd looked at the photos but these are so much nicer in person! Quote
Skogkatter Posted March 22, 2009 Posted March 22, 2009 I was on the Chqualitycoins.com website 3/22/09 wanting to purchase more geogems, and a message popped up "Back in stock March 21, 2009." My order for 3 geogems did not register in the shopping basket, perhaps I need to wait more business days for them "to be in stock." Noticed also their website is very slow to navigate today. Quote
+Rygel Posted March 22, 2009 Posted March 22, 2009 While very cool. I think stating that they will be priced well below $6.00, when they are priced at $5.49 is a little misleading. Quote
+mickebush77 Posted March 29, 2009 Posted March 29, 2009 new geogem and older available on the site Quote
+hattie81 Posted April 21, 2009 Posted April 21, 2009 I think these would be cool to leave in a new cache for a FTF prize. I myself would not send any trackable out into the wild without a way to tag it directly. The pouch it comes in wouldn't work at all IMO. You are so right. I left a little red gem go into the wild...it made it to 2 caches before it was reported as MIA with only the pouch left behind as evidence. It was last spotted in "Choo Choo TB Exchange" cache. It is too bad as they really are quite beautiful and unique. I love the different colors and shapes. Quote
+gerkmax Posted January 26, 2010 Posted January 26, 2010 I just released one, Eclipso, but I'm a little concerned about the tracking number. One tiny scratch, and it won't be legible. Quote
+Waspbuster Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 Do they have a website? The only reference I have seen is geogems.us but this doesn't exist nor does geogems.com Quote
+nevadanick Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 Do they have a website? The only reference I have seen is geogems.us but this doesn't exist nor does geogems.com I believe they went out of business a long time ago. You are reviving a thread that is almost 6 years old. I've seen a few on the ePlace from time to time along with the gold nuggets they used to sell. Quote
+Waspbuster Posted October 24, 2015 Posted October 24, 2015 It was recently mentioned in facebook which was why I was enquiring thanks. Quote
