Intense green in a Fantasy Cushion cut. This gem crystal was grown in a modern lab in a hydrothermal process and is fully guaranteed for quality. Identical in every way to the mined stone, except this has superior clarity and consistent color at a fraction of the cost. When you buy flowers, don't you want the perfect blossom and color? There are too many problems (fracture filling, oiling, opticon, etc etc) with fractured, included and overpriced mined emerald. This stone measures approx 10.41 x 7.18 x 6.26 mm. It has 85 facets and weighs approx 3.50 ct.  

Red spinel oval has lots of life. Checkerboard crown gives it added sparkle. Spinel is 8 MOHS in hardness making it an excellent ring stone. It measures approx. 8.6 x 11.3 mm and weighs approx 3.60 ct.  

Blue Purple Sapphire from Montana. A medium to dark stone that has lots of sparkle. It has a small feather on the girdle that is not noticable without magnification and easily covered with a prong. This gem weighs 1.18 ct and is 6 mm.  

This stone won the Governor's Award in juried competition at WSU's First Exhibition of Alumni Art at the Ulrich Museum. It is a concave cut 15.32 ct citrine that has 109 facets. It is named the Shocker Star in honor of Wichita State University. The design has a magnificent hexagonal internal star and the concave cut has a "shocking" display of light. Everyone can now enjoy seeing this stone in the Houston Museum.

Huge garnet has incredible light return for a large stone as many garnets go black when they are this big. Try to find another stone cut this size and you'll quickly find how scarce these are. We recently sold a pear shape this large which was from the same mine in Sri Lanka, and it was set with diamonds. Stunning! This stone measures approx 14.2 x 10.6 and weighs approx.10.32ct.  

Once in awhile Mother Nature paints a fantastic scene inside her wonderful agates, especially Montana stones. When I cut this one I knew it was special and I would never see anything else like it.

This supreme museum grade ultramarine blue bullet shape is totally natural and not dyed or treated in any way. Weight is approx. 8.70 carats. Measurements are approx 26.71 x 9.67 mm x 4.37 mm thick. What makes this gem so outstanding?  It has top uniform color and there are no distracting black patches, white calcite or pyrite visible. (There are some very tiny pyrite crystals that are visible under 10 X magnification.)  Sometimes used for the mineral dials in the finest timepieces like Rolex or Jacque Droz watches, gems with this "watch grade" quality are are few and far between.  If you appreciate the finest gems, don't miss this one.
Sorry this gem has been sold.

Pakistan peridot trilliant. A very,very brilliant and lively stone. Checkerboard crown adds lots of sparkle. This gem weighs approx 2.90 ct and measures 9.1 mm

Weight is approx 10.15 ct.
