What's New

This page is primarily to show off my new additions to gemstones, 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 gemstone lists. Some of these will be so unusual, rare, and hot, we don't expect them to make it to our product pages.

newSpinel, Tanzania, 1.75 ct, dark blue hexagon, 6.8mm, EC (eyeclean). All natural, one of the harder wearable gemstones. Two of the hottest new stones on the market are the newly mined spinels (not to be confused with the common synthetic ones) and new finds in the garnet family from Tanzania. Most of the new spinels are in the red to pink range, purples, and blues. A few of these have significant size as spinels go, as ones from the Orient tend to be on the small side. (Stock #SPBH-0175) $250.00
newRubellite Tourmaline, great raspberry red, 3.45 ct Portuguese triad shield, 8.5x10.3 mm, EC, Orofino, Minas Gerais, Brazil. That beautiful old Brazilian true rubellite color. (Stock #TORT-0345) $750.00
new Sapphire, 1.13 ct, 5.5 mm square pulsar cut, VVS, locality unk. Unusual medium pinky-orange in color. Some lights show less pink, as sapphires frequently color-shift depending on light source. Shows no fluoresce in 365 black light, so not a chrome affected color. (Stock #SAOP-0113) $226.00
newAmethyst, 7.01 ct mazda triangle, 12.3 mm, VVS. Rare--World famous Four Peaks, AZ material, known for it's strong pink/red overtone to the Siberian dark purple color  They are found on the top of one of the peaks there and have to be taken out by helicopter.

newTourmaline, tri-color, Barre de Salinas, Minas Gerais, Brazil. 1.86 ct emerald cut, 5.8x7.6 mm. EC. From the famous Salinas mine, this one is nice and clean. Runs from slightly orangish-red to a small light yellow zone to green. Super. (Stock #TOBE-0186) $465.00
newTourmaline, Stewart Lithia Mine, Pala, CA, 2.63 ct, Portuguese cushion, 7x8.5 mm, SI. From an old stash of rough. The mine is no longer operating. Stewart pink is known to be the "purest pink" color tourmaline in the world, that nice bubble-gum color. As with most Stewart material, this one has some light flaws. Because eye-clean material is so very scarce, it is commonly accepted in the gem trade to allow some inclusion in the stone, which do tend to hide fairly well anyway. These stones are from an American source and are cut in the USA.   (Stock #TOPC-0263) $394.50
