+Lee-2 Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 I Want at least one of each! Quote Link to comment
+FLIPPER&CO Posted May 10, 2008 Share 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 Link to comment
+Tschakko Posted May 10, 2008 Share 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 Link to comment

+pghlooking Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 What is the size of these again? Quote Link to comment
+CacheHunters42 Posted July 4, 2008 Author Share Posted July 4, 2008 They are 1 1/8" across the table and 0.75" deep. Quote Link to comment
RedShoesGirl Posted July 4, 2008 Share 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 Link to comment
+sweetlife Posted July 4, 2008 Share 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 Link to comment

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....

+FLIPPER&CO Posted July 19, 2008 Share 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 Link to comment
lorca.nl Posted July 20, 2008 Share 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 Link to comment
+Boom!pa Posted July 20, 2008 Share 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!!

+mousekakat Posted December 20, 2008 Share 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 Link to comment
+mickebush77 Posted December 21, 2008 Share 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 Link to comment
+BBI Dragon Posted February 8, 2009 Share 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.

RedShoesGirl Posted February 8, 2009 Share 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 Link to comment
+cache_in_hand Posted February 8, 2009 Share 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 Link to comment
+nefesh Posted February 8, 2009 Share 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 Link to comment
+GATOULIS Posted February 9, 2009 Share 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 Link to comment
Crazyway Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 I just ordered mine a ruby, Its my birthstone. I think its kind of cool Quote Link to comment
+BBI Dragon Posted February 23, 2009 Share 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 Link to comment
sunsetmeadowlark Posted February 23, 2009 Share 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 Link to comment
Skogkatter Posted March 22, 2009 Share 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.

+Rygel Posted March 22, 2009 Share 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 Link to comment
+mickebush77 Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 new geogem and older available on the site Quote Link to comment
+hattie81 Posted April 21, 2009 Share 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 Link to comment
+gerkmax Posted January 26, 2010 Share 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 Link to comment

+nevadanick Posted October 23, 2015 Share 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 Link to comment
