Sunday Night posting
17/July/2011 09:13 PM Filed in: Latest Cut stones
I'm trying to make a Sunday night posting each week between 8:00 pm and 10:00 pm eastern standard time.
Three new stones this week, and the first one is a Blue Sapphire from Sri Lanka (Ceylon). I bought this stone in Tucson from the Sri Lankan dealers as a cut stone, with the purpose of doing a recut on it. Rather than just some slight touch up, I prefer to do a complete recut. The stone has been heat treated only, and if you desire I will send it to the AGL for a cert.
Next is a natural blue Tanzanite. No heat. These natural blue stones do show more of the 3 colors than do heated stones but lack the deep blue color in most cases.
This last stone is a Rhodolite Garnet from Tanzania, cut in an opposed bar cut.
