"Aurora Star"(c)
Click on picture to enlarge. This new jewel is a flawless 31.60 carat ametrine which is concave cut. As you can see it has some very unique optics giving it outstanding scintillation. I called it the "Aurora Star" because of the arches of internal light are shaped in a star pattern. This is the original gem of this design. It measures approx. 20.85 x 19.51 x 12.65 mm.
Price $948. It is delivered with my Production Certificate, A Gem Art Lab apppraisal cert is also available.
"Eye of the Dragon"(c)
Click on picture to enlarge. This spectacular gem is a flawless 26.10 carat ametrine which has been cut with the "Eye of the Dragon" design. The original gem won First Place in the Faceted Stone Category in the 2005 "Gemmy's" competition, which was sponsored by the Lapidary Journal and Colored Stone magazines. It was shown in the January 2005 issue of each magazine. It was also shown in the 2004 June issue of Professional Jeweler magazine. It was also shown on the 2005 Denver show poster for the 2005 Denver Gem and Mineral show. In addition it was a feature stone on display at the Denver show theme case. That original gem now resides in the collection of the Houston Museum of Natural History.
This is a picture of a gem with the "Dragon" design that recently sold. Prices usually range from $400 to $1200 depending on the size and final carat weight. This design must be executed in a large stone for the light patterns to be maximized. I made the custom 14kt mounting for this jewel and it is now in a private collection. Send me an email and ask about cutting your special piece.

Each gem is delivered with my signed production certificate. This cut requires a flawless large blue topaz and the fantastic star pattern that results, will fascinate everyone who sees it. This special cut is guaranteed to pull you into the blue heavenly starlight.
I have a collection of star designs for topaz and I cut each one a little different, so no two are exactly alike. This one measures approx. 15.77 x 11.27mm 20.06ct. Order a Lone Star blue topaz by emailing or calling today. Prices usually run from $200 to $500 per finished piece, depending on the final size.
"Shocker Star"
This stone won the Governor's Award in the First Competition of WSU Alumni Art sponsored by the Ulrich Museum of Fine Art. Until recently it has been in a private collection. Featured on the poster for the 2005 Denver Show, it was on display at the 2005 Show theme case. It now has a new home in the collection of the Houston Museum. I cut this stone in honor of the Wichita State Shockers due to the shocking display of light in this design. This design is available in a number of species. The original was golden citrine, but a number of other stones work well. Call to discuss owning your own personal Shocker Star.
"Crown of Fire"

This concave faceted original design won first place in the 2006 Gemmy's. It was cut from a lab hydrothermally grown bixbite (Red Beryl) flawless crystal. The same technique is used to grow the beautiful Chatham emerald crystals. This gem measures approx. 4.25 x 12 x 6.5 mm and weighs approx 4.75 ct. A sparkling beauty cut from this original copyrighted design can easily be yours and will be delivered with my production certificate. The original stone is now in a private collection. This cut usually costs between $800 and $1200 depending on the final weight of the gem.
If you are buying a gem for a special gift or occasion, I carry a custom made presentation box, crafted in walnut. After presentation, the box converts to a fine jewelry box. Cost is $85.
