Well it looks like I may have found this site a little late in the game. I'm deployed here to Afghanistan and after much waiting I finally bought a couple of gems at the bazaar. I didn't spend a lot of money & I did use a gem tester as well as good sunlight with a loupe to check things out.
I bought rubies ($20/carat), a sapphire ($10/carat), and a pink topaz ($10/carat). While they are not large, they're still pretty and I know my wife & daughters will love them.
Here's pictures. Let me know what you think.
The 2.4 carat pink topaz
