That last Peridot motivated me to cut another one. For some reason I don't cut much peridot, as it never seemed to sell well, but lately I've had a few people ask about it. This one is another stone from Pakistan that produces really nice peridot in a clean Apple Green Color.



This next one is a Pink Tourmaline from Africa, cut in a classic cushion cut. This one is over 5 cts.

I got 2 stones cut before the Buffalo Bills football game today. These are both per request, so they are not up for sale, unless the the customers decline them.

The first is a Peridot from Pakistan, 3.46 ct.



This second one is another of the yellow Grossular garnets I bought in Tanzania this summer. This one is just shy of 2 cts.

3 New stones all from Tanzania. The first is one of the Spessartite garnets, with a very bright fanta orange color. Nice sized stone.



Next is a Rhodolite Garnet, cut in a simple step type emerald cut.



This last one is an Umba Sapphire - all natural, no heat, cut in my Star 80 design.

A new Tsavorite for today. This is one of the stones I was able to get from my summer trip to Africa. The color is just perfect on it, with no yellow, and a touch of blue. Very intense chrome green color that the camera can not pick up.

It's been awhile since I posted any new stones. These four are all from my July trip to Tanzania. The first is a large Red Zircon. You don't see many of these, nor many nice large ones. This stone is 13.62 cts with a lot more life than shows in the picture.



Next is another of the Mahenge Spinels. If you are on my list, you will be getting an email with this stone on offer.



Another Tanzanian Spessartite Garnet. These look much cleaner in person than the pictures. A very bright stone.



This last one is a 2.56 ct Chrome Green Tourmaline.
