Gemstone and Semi
Gemstones are not native to Bali. Most come from Hong Kong. A new phenomenon is the gem shops opening in Kuta, Nusa Dua and Sanur.
Know your stuff. Visit a jeweler in your home country. Buy a book on stones, gems, and jewelry. Look for a nice luster and round shape. Rare and beautiful coral plants, with their rich chainlike floral patterns seemingly printed inside the stone, make intricate jewel-like decorative ornaments. The colors of these 100-year-old fossils vary from soft to warm.
