Cutting grass and stones
26/June/2011 07:17 PM Filed in: Latest Cut stones
Seems I have been spending more time cutting grass than stones lately, but I do have a few new stones to go up tonight. I try to mix some new stones in for the website along with commissioned stones. These first two were cut for the site, the next two were requested by clients.
First up is a Merelani Mint Garnet from Tanzania. These have become quite popular, and it's easy to see why. They are also difficult to come by, as the amount being mined in gem quality is not very much.
This next stone is a natural Sapphire from Lodwar Kenya. It's dark, but it's also not expensive, nor heated or treated in any way.
This is the last of the larger Lindi Garnets I have. I concave cut this one, as it makes these garnets look like fire balls.
The last stone here is a Peridot from Arizona. I do have about 6 more pieces of this material.
