Hello,
Looking for some advice on selling Oregon Sunstone that I mine directly into Asian markets, specifically Jaipur and perhaps Bangkok and Hong Kong,
I understand from some friends in the industry that specifically in Jaipur there is a demand for Oregon Sunstone in pink colors in rough form to be used for beads.
I know personally that I have multiple sales in Japan and Korea and believe there is a market for this relatively unknown stone but trying to figure out how to get it over there.
I might be planning a trip late this year to Jaipur as I have some contacts there, but I’m frankly not sure of the gem selling culture there and how I would be perceived coming in with a couple or a few kilos of rough material I intend do sell.
I would prefer to do business over phone and internet, but some things I know just require a trip. If I can make enough profit from it and establish ongoing relationships it’s worth it.
Any thoughts?
