About Peruvian Black Jade

Peruvian black jade (also called Lemurian jade) is mined within the area of the capital Lima. It is a soft porous stone.

Because of its internal structure the polish never gets to the shine one is used to from other black stones like obsidian but rather stays a little more dull. We at Gemrock Peru, however, have developed a technique of dry polishing that provides the best possible polish on this stone.

Peruvian black jade comes many times with tiny pyrite sparkles or fine pyrite lines included, which is a good way to identify the rock.

Ethically & environmentally friendly mined

Black Jade Quarry in Lima, Peru

Black Jade is mined 100 % ethically and environmentally friendly by Gemrock staff by hand in an open quarry. No explosives are required. The only tools required are a hammer and water spray to check quality. The material is then paid by the kilo to the local artisan families who quarry here.

The quarry itself is located on the outskirts of the capital Lima in the coastal desert mountains. By nature, there is no vegetation, animal life, or water bodies in this area. Therefore there is no environmental impact. 

How to take care of ethical Peruvian Black Jade crystals

Peruvian Black Jade is not too soft. However hard metallic objects can scratch the stone.

Availability & Quality of ethical Peruvian Black Jade crystals

Peruvian ethical Black Jade crystal Mine Gemrock

Peruvian Black Jade is actually very rare. First, there is only one mine in the world for Peruvian Black jade, a 100 by 100 meter quarry. Even in the quarry, only about 10 percent of the area produces a black jade that can be cut in a lapidary shop. Most of the other material is soft and breaks apart easily. If you come to the quarry for the first time and have nobody pointing you to the right spot, you will not be able to distinguish the correct material from thousands of dusty rocks around you.

Stand out of the crowd and get the highest quality on the market for your crystal shop:

First we are selecting the material stone by stone in the mine itself.

Second, we are selecting mined material and discarding low-quality material.

All our products are manufactured in-house and hand-made by our trained master carvers.

We are supervising quality production during the entire process discarding all products that do not reach our standards.

Why Gemrock Black Jade Crystal Products are truly ethical:

Founded in 2017 by biologist and professional nature conservationist Stefan Austermühle, Gemrock was born to be more than just a crystal wholesale business. As a result, Nature conservation and ethical workers’ treatment throughout the entire production chain are at the core of our business. We are changing the crystal industry for the better one crystal at a time.

  • We do not source our raw materials from conflict areas, from mines that employ children, from drug production areas, or mining that finances genocide and civil war.
  • All our gemstones, silver, and gold come from legal sources. We do not support illegal mining or shadow business.
  • Our entire production (crystal carving, silver and goldsmithing, as well as jewelry production is in-house. We control 100% of the production chain.
  • Gemrock employees are paid fair salaries higher than the industry average. They are hired under legal labor contracts with all legally required labor benefits. Excellent work is motivated with bonuses and our employees get a share of the company’s annual profits.
  • Hiring is independent of any non-work related factors (gender, skin color, nationality, or else). Only knowledge and labor quality do matter.
  • We offer our employees safe labor conditions.
  • Saving water and energy, and re-using and recycling materials to the maximum is an ongoing effort.
  • We constantly measure our carbon footprint and neutralize our climate impact by financing a tree-planting project.

The maximum possible transparency is Gemrocks’ most important communication rule. You can find ample information about our ethical business in our blog (on this website) and on all of our social networks. For more details on our ethical standards, read here:
