About Us

Babaa Farid G.S.R. Gems and Jeweller was established in 1991, yet our history in this trade goes beyond it.

Our first generation only dealt with gemstones as a freelancer, followed by our second generation (my beloved father) whom also free-lanced but kept it as a personal pastime profession. I learned a lot from my dad about the uses, functions, influences and benefits of gemstones to its wearer. I was sceptical then, but not now. To tell you the truth, I'm in love with this natural beauty and have our own Personal Collection, which is not for trade or sale.

Let me humbly share with you how I come into this trade. Trained as an engineer, I have the privilege to travel around. Once when I was in Bombay (today known as Mumbai), India, I chanced upon a small shop in the Poona Region. The owner whom was also a miner, was selling beautiful pieces of raw minerals. I asked him if anyone actually purchase these specimens. His reply was "Only the Europeans and Americans". Short simple answer that boggled my mind....

In the early eighties, where I came from was only a developing country. I cannot envisage anyone who would want to purchase mineral specimens or collecting them. Computer then was a luxury, not to mention the internet. So, with the knowledge that I had on gemstones and knowing that they are the bi-product of the minerals, why not add them into my trade and learn more about them. So, I made an impromptu decision to try my hand in this line of business. I asked many questions about the specimens the man was selling and with that information in hand, I decided to invest in it.

Still keeping the very first piece that caught my eye, a showy cabinet size spray of delicate colourless acicular terminated Mesolite clusters accompanied with fluorapophyllite on Matrix, (it will never be for sale!).

Now a pioneer in this line of business, our fourth generation of dealer is coming into play. He is none other than my son who is most of the time at the computer. With his suggestions and encouragement over the past years, we now are venturing into the latest trend of e-commerce way of business.

We are the third and fourth generation that are practicing the art of numerology, feng shui, vastu, and also personalise match of gemstone and minerals to our 30 years of clients, advising them on the placement and positioning of the minerals be it house, office or any other places.
