About The Gem Hunters

Why We are Different

The Gem Hunters Corporation was an idea conceived by Gary W. Bowersox during his over thirty years of promoting gem shows on the road. With this new internet store, gem hunters and buyers can explore and purchase inventory on line.

The goal of Gem Hunters Corporation is to be a profitable publicly owned company operated by professional gem hunters, jewelers and market experts. It will offer it's customers knowledge of the gem and mineral industry along with educational and entertaining film clips and short videos. Our goal is to have one of the largest and widest variety of inventory items on the internet with a continual supply of new items and news updates.

Our ten year old “Gem Hunters Club” now offers FREE membership and discounts to it’s members. Click Here to learn more.

 

Gary Bowersox has been called "a modern-day Indiana Jones," but his adventures in Afghan cave-mining have posed real-life dangers.

....During his expeditions, Bowersox traveled for a month at a time by horseback, climbing narrow paths to mountain caves, at altitudes as high as 14,000 feet. Using grenades, dynamite, and even crowbars, he and his team of local miners uncovered more than $2 million in precious stones — emeralds, rubies and sapphires.
