We got a quartzite slab for our kitchen remodel from this place and had a wonderful experience. Well priced, great quality. They stored it for us while we were getting ready for fabrication, which was much appreciated. We love how our counters turned out! read more

What an incredible find! This relatively small stone yard had, in my opinion, the most interesting and beautiful selection of quartzite in the LA area - even better than the larger places, like Stone Mart and Modul Marble. As an added benefit, my sales lady, Silvia, was an absolute sweetheart to work with. I highly recommend checking this place out if you're in the market for natural stone! read more

I worked with Silvia and she went over and above to help me. She is rare in the business when most people are too busy to help she takes her time and follows through and makes things fun. She is the reason I will be buying at Gem in the future. Great quality all around. Truly grateful. read more

GEM International is truly a GEM! I stumbled upon them as I was driving around looking for another natural stone store. I walked in at about 4:15pm on a Friday (they close at 4:30) and was greeted by Aurora. She was so friendly, helpful and one of the most quartzite knowable people I have met in my search for the perfect countertop. Even though it was almost closing Aurora did not rush me and immediately emailed me pictures and prices of the different slabs I was interested in before she left for the weekend. GEM also has an amazing selection of beautiful slabs. I've been to 7 different stone stores in the SF Valley and GEM is the BEST! I highly recommend them. Ask for Aurora. She knows her stones and is a true GEM. Thank you Aurora! read more

I highly recommend this place. They have an array of slabs to choose from, which makes it the ideal one stop shop for any project! We purchased slabs for our kitchen, bar and bathrooms here as well as marble flooring. We had a great experience with Silvia who offered excellent customer service to us! read more

If you've been in the market for stone slabs, you know there are at least a dozen stone yards within blocks of each other on Raymer. Most of the ones I called were really poor on customer service and hardly knew the products they had on hand. We knew exactly what we were looking for and wanted to make sure they were in stock before trekking out to North Hollywood. Aurora at Gem International not only knew her inventory but she was able to send us pictures of what she had in stock. She even looked through her inventory to see what other stones she had that was similar to what we wanted to give us other options. It's rare to find such good service. Thanks, Aurora! read more

Our 27-year-old granite countertops had formed water damage cracks around our kitchen sink, and we needed to replace them as soon as possible. GEM International was recommended to us by a trusted friend, and we were blown away by their caring, professional, knowledgable staff. Silvia Torres in particular was an exceptional help. Her ability to guide us in our search for the perfect stone solution was quite simply amazing. She listened to all of our concerns. She cared about our goals. She cared about our budget. She was attentive and enthusiastic. Her warmth and understanding made my wife and I both feel truly at home. With her assistance, we found the best stone, the best installer, the best solution for our family, and in the most perfect shopping experience we could have ever imagined. Anyone looking for the perfect kitchen look, feel and reliability should trust Silvia and Gem to provide the answers they need. read more

I don't know what all of these good reviews are about, me and my dad walked in to purchase 2 slabs for our kitchen and an older baldish man with a smart attitude approached us. Not only did he not listen to what I was asking he kept getting smart when I asked him if he had any stones other than the samples in his office that were light in color with grey tones and he referred to a $17,000 of his that was not my criteria , and he said we don't have what you are looking for. Obviously he was either in a crappy mood or his pockets are too full to care about customers , either way , deuces read more

If I could give 10 stars to Silvia Torres I would. Silvia made the entire experience an absolute pleasure, actually it became fun!! We're in the midst of rebuilding after we lost our home in the Woolsey fire. I've been looking for stone for apx 6 months, either I could not find good quality stone at a reasonable price or the stone yards did not have the slabs properly labeled showing they were sold. Looking for stone became a very frustrating and disappointing experience, that is until we met Silvia. She was the 1st salesperson that took the time to understand my needs and asked me to describe the type of pattern in the stone I'm looking for, because as we all know no two stones look a like they all have different patterns. Within 5 minutes she showed me the exact stone I've been looking for and reasonably priced. Here's Silvia's number if you would like to contact her directly. 818-626-2906 read more

I could not have asked for more. The service is AWESOME. The people there are super friendly - we LOVE Silvia - and the stone we picked out is perfect. We came in for marble but left with Neolith. Our counters look incredible and I'm not worried about staining or etching the surface. They truly are experts and helped find the perfect counter for us and our lifestyle. Friendly and not pushy at all. They also had great recommendations on fabricators and we went with one of their recommendations. Wouldn't go anywhere else! read more

So happy we made the choice to come here, and even happier that we found such an amazingly wonderful lady, Silvia, to help us. Silvia was so nice and welcoming and offered outstanding customer service. We were a little surprised because there was a manager who was being very rude and disrespectful to her right out in the open and it was somewhat uncomfortable for us to see her being treated like that, especially after her going above and beyond in the amazing service she offered. If anyone has had bad service here or elsewhere, make sure you come here and ask for Silvia. You'll definitely be in good hands. Thank you so much, Silvia! Keep up the great service! read more

Thank God for Angi Khachadourian at Gem International in North Hollywood! We at G & G Granite ( www.GGgranite.com ) in N. Hollywood had a huge project that required three different types of Marble that our client wanted Fabricated and Installed. The client asked for Callacata, Carrara, and Statuary. Not only did Angi have the Marble slabs we needed but she gave us the price in town! I would highly recommend Angi and Gem International to any business or shopper out there. read more

After visiting numerous tile shops and stone yards, we stumbled upon GEM. We were lucky enough to have someone as knowledgable and honest as Sylvia help us pick the perfect stone for our project. She steered us away from stones which may not have the durability we were looking for. We could tell Sylvia wasn't trying to upsell us or pass an expensive item on to us. I would highly recommend GEM and by extension Sylvia to anyone looking for stone/tile for their project. read more

We absolutely loved the service we received from Gem International. We had visited over 15 slab yards and Angie was the best to work with! On top of the great service, Gem had the best selection of marble at reasonable prices. Thanks Angie for finding us the perfect piece of marble, your wonderful service, and overall great experience! read more

We were supposed to go to a different store up the street, and accidentally walked into GEM. Silvia greeted us and showed us the way to the place we were looking for. Her last words before I walked out were "if you don't find anything come on back and I'll be happy to help you". Must've been fate that we walked in there by accident, to begin with., because that's right where we ended up. Not finding anything at the first store we made our way back Silvia. She was so helpful, sweet, and found us just what we wanted. I see on here that a "baldish older man with a bad attitude" isn't helpful or nice. That may be truthful, as we had an encounter with him as well,BUT Silvia Torres and the warehouse workers absolutely made up for any sort of way he acted. We'd come back in a heart beat to work with someone so helpful! Thank you times 1,000! read more

Silvia & Angie are just AMAZING!!!! the customer service here is exceptional and the inventory is just as good. they are organized, efficient and very knowledgeable. i was extremely happy with my purchases and they are gorgeous stones and slabs and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them....you won't be disappointed! read more

They are very nice and helpful. Not too pretentious with a good supply of different stone material.

Silvia T. helped us pick out a fabulous stone for my kitchen. It was a beautiful blue stone quartzite. After spending a month doing research on prices and stone preference, I finally decided to go with GEM for a few reasons. Their selection of stone was better than all the other places I went to, Silvia was very easy to talk to and felt like a person who wasn't trying to "sell me" on anything AND the price was very fair. In fact it was a better price than most places! That and she gave me tips on what type of purse to buy my wife for a present. Thanks for that Silvia. I would highly recommend going to GEM and seeing Silvia. With that said, everyone at GEM was very nice. read more

SILVIA IS THE BEST!!! She helped us pick gorgeous marble slabs for the waterfall island in the kitchen, found matching 12x24" tile for the backsplash, and arranged to have them cut into 3x12" pieces for a stacked, modern look. Her suggestions are far superior to most interior designers, and her do-whatever-it-takes attitude will help you get things done that your contractor won't touch. She's knowledgable, professional, and has impeccable taste; plus she's an absolute joy to work with. Most importantly, she CARES. We visited about 20 marble yards, and GEM has the best selection and the nicest people. Don't waste your time going anywhere else. read more

If you want to see nature's jewelry store, you must visit Gem. An incredibly array of stones slabs with such amazing beauty, it takes your breath away. Silvia found the perfect slab for us to add to an existing countertop. (we thought we were doomed and would have to replace the whole thing) We couldn't be more pleased with her help. Even if you don't have a need for their products, you should go just to see what nature can produce. It might even give you ideas! Thank you Silvia! read more

We picked out some beautiful stones and slabs here for our entire house. The staff is wonderful...so professional and helpful. They made the whole process so easy and pleasant for us. Both Sylvia and Angie were so knowledgeable and helpful throughout the process. They showed us a beautiful selection of slabs as well as the Neolith stones. We recently completed installation and it all looks beautiful. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone. They are simply THE BEST!! read more

Doing renovations for my first home has been stressful and quite the learning experience. While some vendors grew to be frustrated with my questions Sylvia was incredibly patient with me and my husband and led us to make the right choice for our kitchen. Additionally, Gem International has the best selection in terms of all stone and possible kitchen counter material that I could find. Truly a must and ask for Sylvia!!! read more
