0.71ct Pear Shaped Diamond, Approx I color and SI2 Clarity  (scrp-08-02)  $2,495

Two cabs of Tanzanian Sunstone weighing about 0.65cts total, showing some phenomenon  $65
16.90cts of Tanzanian Sunstone (not exactly matched and can be purchased separately) with a wonderful color and a faint/medium 4-ray stay present.  This material was written up in an article by Morgan Beard and is very collectable.  You can see the internal fibers that make up the stars.  The body color is gold...  (7.69ct and 9.21ct)   (mj3inc-04-04p)   $60/ct  (A great price for this fine quality material!)

3 cabs of Tanzanian Sunstone weighing 14.65cts.  The middle stone shows a weak 4 ray star, and the left hand/right hand cab show a fairly distinct cats-eye!  These gemstones can be purchased separately.   Photo on the left was taken with a pen light to act as the lighting source to show off the phenomenon.  (3.66ct, 3.72ct, 7.27ct) (mj3inc-04-04p)   $60/ct  (A great price for this fine quality material!)
Same 3 cabs under office flourescent lights with no over head pin point light source; therefore, no cats-eye or star.

2.49ct Cats-Eye Chrysoberyl Cab -  A great example of an extremely sharp eye, transparent/translucent body, of a good lemony yellow color.  The left hand photo is under a diffused office flourescent light, yet it still shows a very sharp eye, AND shows the Milk and Honey affect.  The right hand photo shows an even sharper eye when a light is held above the cab. (babjew-08-01)  $1,245

2.89ct Rare Green Andesine Feldspar, uncommon in this color.  More frequently seen as orangy red or reddish orange.  One of our customers has indicated that andesine is being named the gemstone for the 2008 Olympics, since  it seems that this material s being found in Nepal.  This is our first Green Feldspar purchase in our 25+ year history.  We just hadn't seen a fine one at an attractive price previouslyl. Expect prices ot increase...  (dazgem-06a-01)  $578

Two Deep Yellow Orthoclases from Madagascar.  Unsual in such fine yellow (note that the color is a medium deep yellow, and the orangy highlights were picked up by the camera.  The eye does not see this orange).  Small Oval:  8.28cts  (hilbos-05-01p)     $289 Large Oval:  31.67cts  (hilbos-05-01p)   $1,108

6 pieces totalling 10.64cts of Cabs - Tanzanite, Peridot, African Sunstone and 3 blue Tourmalines The largest Tourmaline shows a slight cats eye and the Sunstone also shows some sort of phenomena.  As to be expected in cabs, there are some inclusions, otherwise this material would have been faceted, but the colors are very nice - as well as the price!  (mixed-7-02p)  $150
6 pieces totalling 6.63 carats.  These were faceted from trimmings from stones we have faceted over the years.  The red are Garnets, the green should be a Tourmaline.   We have not performed an RI test on the yellows to determine exactly which gemstones they are, but we believe them to be Beryl andScapolite.   (mixed-07-01p)   $198

Color Change Fluorite.  We had seen smaller examples of this material in Thailand and knew that it existed, but this color is the best we have ever seen.  It is a beautiful deep blue going to a super purple - 100% change!  The photo here doesn't do it justice - a small penlight was used, but one can see the purple.  It is also cut in Germany!   This is a must for anyone wanting a phenomenal gemstone with color change - like many of our gemstones that we purchase, it is a real gem and a super example of the best of this material.  11.29cts  (wpl-07-01)   $849
