Gemstone Appraisal Phoenix AZ: Finding Reputable Appraisers

Question
I have a large bucketful of raw rubies- emeralds -sapphires ( corundum) from mines around Franklin, North Carolina. My mom and dad mined them about 25 years ago. I would like to know where in the Phoenix . Arizona area I can take them for some type of appraisal. These are good quality gemstones in multiple sizes and colors. Please advise. Thank you

Answer
Google the GIA in Carslbad Ca..they should be able to direct you...
If you leave your gems or they are out of your site..be sure you have weighed them (grams)
and counted them..

PS please let me know if they did not know of anybody in your area..?
