Ethical Mining & Production
Environmental Conservation
Together with you
we can change the tide!
Environmental Conservation
All our efforts to bring up our children with love, and care and provide them with the best possible education will be useless if they do inherit from us a shattered world.
As scientific data unmistakably shows, the time for governments, companies of any sector, and every human being to keep turning a blind eye to the current environmental destruction is OVER. We must stop acting as if nothing was wrong.
Everybody, we as a company, every worker in our company, every one of our clients – we all together, should act, if we truly love our children.
We are aware of the fact, that this still is not an easy message to convey, that change will be hard, and that there are so many excuses not to do anything.
Hoever, simply put: The time for excuses is over too.
So let´s start doing something.
Find out what we are doing to protect the environment and how you can take part
Ethical Mining and Production
A sustainable future is not only built on a healthy environment, but also on a fair, just and equal global society.
That´s why we also must admit finally (every one of us) that our current system of consumption is based on a deeply unjust, unfair and unequal global economy.
We all need to accept the fact that we cannot have ever “cheaper” products while pretending to be in favor of an ethical economy.
In fact, we need to finally understand that the words “cheap” and “ethical” never will go together. It is an undeniable fact that any move towards producing “cheap” products (or offering “competitive prices”) will always result in an unethical, exploitive, and unfair production chain.
The key demand for our society is to change our consumption pattern away from ever cheaper, discardable, low quality products towards fewer products of higher quality and longevity.
Find out how we make sure that our crystal mining and lapidary production is ethical.
Gemrock Peru: Social and Environmental Responsability
Why choose Gemrock?
All our workers are hired under formal working contracts and provided with all legally required health, labour and retirement benefits.
We are going to great length to find the right process for each type of stone in order to achieve the best possible polish.
During our lapidary production we have a rigurous review process in place that filters out any product that shows the tyniest scratches.
We strive for perfect shapes in all our products, even if this means an extreemly high effort in carving.
Even if handmade piece by piece, we do offer standartized sizes that do not vary more than 2 to 3 mm. This improves the pricing process of our clients.
We are constantly improving our production process in order to achieve shorter production times while maintaining quality. Also we are trying to save water and energy.

Why Gemrock 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:
