Located at the southwestern edge of Germany, ldar-Oberstein is the historic stone-cutting of Europe. The industry was originally based on local deposits of agate, jasper, rock crystal and amethyst but beginning in the 19th century, all kinds ofrough gemstones began to be imported from around the world. Idar-Oberstein is a small town of roughly 50,000 inhabitants in a narrow, picturesque valley in the HunsrUck Mountains on the very western edge of Germany. It is located in the state of Rheineland- Pfalz, about 110 km southwest of Frankfurt am Main. Oberstein has long been only one of many jewelry-manufacturing centers in Europe, but Idar has had few rivals in the gem-cutting field. In 1933 The two towns were consolidated into one. The gem-cutting region of Idar-Oberstein is now made up of the city itselfand many small hamlets that dot the surrounding hills. Idar-Oberstein is widely recognized within the gemstone industry as the most significant European cutting center for gemstones other than diamonds. Records show that gem cutting in the general region dates back to the 14th century.
