The origin of this material
is Madagascar. One piece was faceted by our cutters to produce
the round. The piece of rough, which is not facet quality,
accompanies the faceted stone. This would make a great piece for
someone interested in faceted stones and the material that produces
them. $150

A - 3.57ct
Oval Yellow Chrysoberyl $535

|
| 1.60ct Emerald
(Brazil) |
| This large nicely colored emerald
came from Brasil back in 1980's and was purchased directly from the
miners when we were visiting our Brazilian office at the time. Note
that the clarity of this piece is great as many emeralds can be quite
included. The color reproduction was difficult with this stone. It is a
nice deep green without being too dark. This color green glows! Some
might say that there is also a hint of blue. It's shape makes it
flexible, as it can be a pendant or a ring for a woman, but could also
be a great ring for a man with the long axis of the stone running
across a man's finger. $1600 |

Pair - Cat's Eye Scapolite from South
Africa, totalling 5.07cts. This is something that we haven't seen
before and though unique and just had to have an example before this
material disappears from the market. The cat's eyes are caused by
millions are very short needles that one can see under a microscope.
The body color is a brownish purple. The photograph was
taken with a fiber optic flexible shaft several inches away to show the
cat's eye at it's best. $175

We can only tell you two
things about this unique material - it is called Mookaite and comes
from Australia. We chose these three pieces from a large
parcel, for their color and aesthetic beauty.
Oh, and we can also say one more thing - a number of people said that
previous examples that we had look like candy! |

Obtained some info - and it is
very interesting!
Mookaite is a stunning multi coloured stone which is found in the
Kennedy Ranges near Gascoyne Junction which is about 100 miles inland
from the coastal town of Carnarvon in Western Australia.
The name "mookaite" is derived from the locality where the rock is dug,
namely Mooka Creek.
Mookaite is actually a fossiliferous sedimentary rock & it is
reasonably common to find cavities left by decomposed belemnite casts
or in some rare cases , impressions of ammonites.
This was found doing a quick search on Mookaite, but there is probably
more information out there...

a 17.70ct

carved piece specifically created for Michael's work. The onyx
was carved by a master craftsman in the world famous Idar-Oberstein,
Germany and is both signed and dated. The onxy has a flowing
channel down the middle ridge of each arm, which could accomodate a

design.This one of a kind piece is only $795. |

texture and color to match the boulder opal below. There

sandblasted areas. A channel next to the opal will allow a
designer to inlay brightly colored gemstones or even
intarsia to accent the play of colors from the opal.This unique
and one of a kind piece is both signed/dated and is priced at
$675. |

| These pieces were
designed by David
Stanley, one of the first Americans working in a similar fashion to
Munsteiner in Germany. These unique pieces were chosen from a few
hundred pieces of David's work approximately 10 years ago. They
were chosen based on the designs, keeping the customer and goldsmith in
mind. Note that the citrine and amethyst pieces are separate
pieces, and one can separate them with a bar of gold, diamonds, other
gemstones or whatever the customer desires. |
