I missed the Sunday night posting, but I was planning to every now and then have one at a different time anyway. So here's the first mid week posting in a long time.
All the stones are rounds, and each one a little unique in it's own way.
This first one is a Chrome Green Tourmaline from Tanzania that is 3.37 ct. That's a pretty large size for Chrome Tourmaline.
Next I have a couple of Sapphires. This first blue stone is from Madagascar, and is a very pretty color, but it does have a few black inclusions in it.
The second sapphire is one from Winza Tanzania. You don't see much coming from Winza any more, but a few years ago when I bought this stone they were producing very nice and interesting sapphires. This stone has both red and blue sapphire in it, which mixes to produce purple, but with close examination you will see some very dark blue area's in it.
This last stone I just finished up tonight is a Rubellite Tourmaline from Nigeria. This is the last of that very nice parcel I bought a year ago.
