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.
Note:We attend several gem and mineral shows, so If you experience a delay in our response, please don't give up! We will answer your inquiries as soon as possible in the order they're received. Thank you for visiting Buena Vista Gem Works!

SOLD. 3. From a great new find in exotic Congo! Delicious clean green to blue
tourmalines. This one is that rare and much sought after teal color,
right in between the greens and blues. This opposed bar cut (also
sometimes known as a roll top) would make a fantastic pendant, or
could be used as a large ring stone. 7.99 carats in weight, and goes
for a reasonable $125 per carat or $998.75. Stock #TOTO-0799. |

5.
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. |

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. |

Collectors! This fluorite is a rare and attractive champagne color from east
Africa. This 15 mm square brilliant cut is eyeclean (EC) and
modestly priced at $10/ct. Fluorite is really too soft for wearable
jewelry, except for perhaps pendants. Weighs in at 24.36 cts. #FLCS-2436.
