The latest cut stones for offer...
First up are 2 Rhodolite garnets from Tanzania, each from a different mine with a different look.
This next stone is a Spinel from Tajikistan cut in my Star 80 Design. A very pretty pink.
The last stone is one of my favorite stones to cut, a Lake Baringo Ruby. These stones have to be seen in person, they almost glow, and the wonderful thing about them is they are all natural, no heat or other treatments. They seldom come large, and this is a smaller stone, but the color is a neon hot red.

Spinel and Tourmaline

I have two, well maybe two new stones today. The
first one is a Chrome Green
Tourmaline from Tanzania. This one is a
bit lighter tone than most I buy, making for a
very bright stone, but still with an intense
green color. Weighs 1.42 cts.
This next one is one of the Mahenge Spinels. Now I have a list of people who have written in asking for one of these, so this stone has been offered to those on the list first. If there are no takers, then it will go up on the website for sale. Check back in a day or two. The stone weighs 1.52 cts and measures 8.39 x 5.61 mm.
