Two new oval stones to be posted today and a
diamond checker board crown stone. The first one is
a blue sapphire from Lodwar
Kenya Africa. This is an all natural, unheated
stone. These Lodwar sapphires are a dark blue,
but not that inky almost black you see in most
mall jewelry stores. A nice size stone,
weighing just under 2 cts.
Next is a spessartite garnet from Nigeria. This stone has terrific color which doesn't photograph well. Looks good in any light. The image greatly exagerates the small veils and inclusions, the stone faces up to the eye clean. 2.37 cts,
This last one is a minty green with a touch of blue tourmaline from Mozambique Africa. It's cut in unique pointed round with a diamond checker crown. This cut can be mounted in a standard 4 prong round mounting. The stone is 1.38 cts.
