The Steinbach - Gems with A star - company, is one of the leading companies in the area of the fascinating
gemstones with a star (asteriated gems, star-stones).

Martin P. Steinbach (*1957 ) graduated in 1982 from the German Gemological Association (DGemG) as a Gemologist and is a Fellow of the Gemological Association of West Germany (FGG), and he graduated as an „Accredited Gemologist“ (A.G.) in 1983 with the “Asian Institute of Gemological Sciences” (AIGS) in Bangkok, Thailand.

Over 20 years in the business, we are dealing nationally and internationally in wholesale and retail. Goldsmiths, jewelry designers, museums, the private collector and gem connoisseurs are our customers.

Through direct gemstone – buying trips to the markets and mines in Burma, India, Sri Lanka and Thailand and the USA, and a time ago also Brazil, we are able to supply a quality selection of gems for our valuable customers. To compete with the changing buying attitude of our customers in the times of globalisation and to trade in a product our company can identify itselve a 100 per cent, we specialise since the year 2005 in:
