Gemstones ~ Agates ~ New Jewelry
All fresh off the dop or newly aquired!

This page is primarily to show off new additions to our gemstone, jewelry, and mineral lines. Some of these gems are fresh off the dop and you will see them here first, before they are added to the new stone list. Some of these will be so unusual, rare, and hot, we don't expect them to make it to our sale pages.

	New strawberry colored tourmaline from Congo. This Portuguese trillion will exhibit differing amount of orange tones in the red, depending on the lighting it's viewed under. This stone weighs 3.31 cts. and is eyeclean. #TORP-0331. $75/ct, or $248.25.
	Beautiful teal blue indicolite tourmaline from Namibia. Known for it's superb color, this "open c axis" stone is one you'd be proud to own and show off. This material is hard to get and we don't know how long the rough will be available. Would make a great ring stone. 6.7 x 12.3 mm., 3.47 cts., EC (eyeclean). #TOBS-0347. $250/ct, or $867.50 total.
	Rare stone collectors! We now have a few select pieces of the rare gem diaspore on hand. Diaspore is a hydrous aluminum oxide with a strong cleavage that presents challenges to cutting. As far as we know, it's only been found in gem quality in the country of Turkey. These are clean stones and run $100/ct. The hex SOLD is 1.23 cts., the pulsar is 1.82 cts.
	Collectors! We have a limited quantity of this outstanding fluorescent blue agate from Colorado that I have named "Columbine blue" for it's similarity in color to the state flower. Most of this occurs in small, irregular shaped pieces, making cutting cabs difficult. The ones pictured here are mostly freeform in shape. They go fabulously in sterling and the best ones even look great in karat gold! Some have shadings of brown or other colors. Priced according to color, size, and intensity, up to $5 per carat. Write for particulars.
	Just arrived from the cutters in China. More great Colorado columbine agate. This material occurs in small pieces over a very limited area, and is quite scarce. I am very impressed with the workmanship of this lapidary. Calibrated sizes and shapes, and top-notch polish. Many are matching pairs or sets for earrings and whatever else you can design. Most of the best colors sell for $2.50 to $5 per carat. Limited quantity, although we have more than what's pictured. Write for particulars.
	Blue agate pendants and earrings. Our designer has just wire wrapped some of our blue agate cabs. Some are ready for your to purchase. Or create your own...our designer will wrap your hand selected blue agate cab.
	Wire Wrap Pendants. Fair Burn Agate, Ocean Jasper Agate, Turquoise. Just some of the minerals and cabs that we have had wire-wrapped.
	Morganite from Mozambique, hot off the dop. Nice delicate peach color in this split-mains oval for great brilliance. This one is close to eye-clean, with just a couple of very tiny "bubble" inclusions in one end. 8x13mm oval. Weighs in at 3.22 cts., and is reasonably priced at $20/ct, or $64.40. Stock #MOPO-0322.
