Just one new stone to add to the site this week,
but I have been busy doing some commissioned work.
It may seem like there are not many new stones
being cut, but lately a lot of the cutting has bee
per special request. If you don't see what you are
looking for, give me a call or email, as there is a
good chance I will have a piece of rough and could
cut you a gemstone in the design and shape you are
looking for.
The new stone on the site is this Pink Tourmaline. A beautiful 4.18 ct stone.
The other gems I finished up this week were this 3 stone set cut from Tanzanian Spessartite garnet. This is from the new find this year. The color on these is great. My main dealer in Kenya is telling me that this find is about dried up. This is pretty typical in the colored stone mining, they find a small pocket, and with in months it's worked out. These 3 stones total a bit over 4.25 cts.

Here's the latest cut stone. This one is a yellow
tourmaline from Mozambique. I just finished the
design this week, and the shape of the rough fit
well with the design.
