GEMROCK TRANSPARENCY
TRANSPARENCY
Trust is earned when action meets words
In recent years scams and inadequate corporate behavior have scared many crystal shop owners, and rightly so.
International business transactions at the level of small-scale companies are entirely trust-based. Legal procedures against a business partner in another country are nearly impossible to implement and even harder to win. Language barriers, geographical distance, and different national laws are hurdles impossible to overcome.
Building trust with our clients is our daily business. Scams and previous bad experiences of our clients, however, make life harder for us too.
Therefore we did decide to provide our clients with maximum transparency by making available all official documents that can be used as proof that we are not a fake company.
We have nothing to fear and nothing to hide.
Be aware of shadow businesses
Shadow businesses are companies that do not exist. They do not have a bank account in their name. They do not have a tax number. They are, in fact, illegal cash-based activities. Be cautious if a provider asks you to send money to a bank account under a different name. Ask for the tax number registration to make sure you deal with a real business. In Peru this document is called “Ficha RUC” and it is a public access document that can be downloaded for free from the website of the Peruvian tax office. A legally existing company should have no problem providing this document. Be cautious if they try to find reasons not to do so on request. Below you can download the “Ficha RUC” of our groups’ companies.

We provide sustainable quality jobs
The Peruvian labor law obliges legally established companies to provide a series of documents to prove that they adhere to labor rights, as well as health and safety regulations. Although these documents are NOT public, they have to be shared with all employees and they have to be approved by the authorities. Only legally established real companies will have those documents. As a token of transparency, we have translated these documents into English and share them publicly. These documents are the best way to show that we care for our employees’ health and safety and that we provide sustainable quality jobs like any ethical crystal company should do and be able to prove.

Trusted by our clients:
“When I first unpacked the polished spheres of Gemrock I was immediately impressed by their quality. My clients felt the same and I sold the spheres so fast that after just a month I placed a new and bigger order. I like the way how the staff of Gemrock Peru keeps regular contact and dialogue with its clients. They are answering all my questions as detailed and fast as possible and have shown to be willing to adapt to my requirements. They are very proactive and give me suggestions on how to improve and optimize my order. I am very happy with the service of Gemrock Peru and can fully recommend them.”

“We recognize the importance of ethical sourcing, which is why we do our very best to consciously source. Additionally quality is everything to us. As a business we rather pay a higher cost for goods processed with higher standarts. That goes for quality of materials as well as knowing our provider treats his employees fairly. In Gemrock Peru we found a partner that complies with those labour standarts and provides best possible quality and service.”

I love the shapes of Gemrocks hearts. I dont like buying hearts from most places because they are odly shaped, but Gemrocks hearts are perfect.
I have other suppliers in Peru contact me with products but i like to stay with Gemrock Peru, because i dont think i will get the same quality elsewhere“.

“When I received my first order from Gemrock Peru, I inmediately opened the package to check out the products. The hearts and pyrite crystals where just perfect. Very cool and good quality. I am already preparing for a second order.”

“The products of Gemrock Peru are something one cant find very commonly, especially concerning finish and detail. As a collector this caught my attention because I like to resell things that differentiate my business from others.”
