2.14ct Star Corundum, purchased as a Star Ruby and would be considered a Ruby in Europe as well as other places in the world.  In the Gemstone Profile of Modern Jewelers Magazine, the photographed Star Ruby has a similar color as the one above.  We are calling it Star Corundum and the new owner can decide whether they want to call it Star Ruby or Star Sapphire.  Whatever one calls it, the star is really strong,  has a good 6-ray star and is a fine example of a natural star.  (minco-08-01)  $1,070

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

Two Fancy Imperial Garnets from Africa.  We are not sure what to call this material, as garnets can be comprised of many different elements and may not fall exactly into one garnet group.  Many have characteristics of a few groups.  There is some color shifting seen under different lights and the pear shape seems to show some red on the ends, like a dichroic gemstone, but garnet is not dichroic, so this is an interesting unique feature..  Whatever garnet group this belongs to, it is unique and we only have two to offer.   The two photos above were with slightly different light sources.  Under fluorescent lights, we believe that we could call the body color a medium orange with maybe some yellow.  However one wants to describe them, we think that most people would say - Beautiful... 1.55ct Oval (minco-08-02a) 2.79ct Pear/Shield (mindo-08-02a) $300/ct

Two Imperial Garnets from Africa photographed under different lighting conditions.  In the top photo, the oval had to be modified to show more of the real color.  We would call the body color a dusty rose or beige color under fluoresecent and under incandescent light, the color turns to more of a pink .  This is what we have seen in the past when we have had similar material.  Note that this material is not common and can be quite costly.  Larger pieces cost more and have the likelihood of having more black platelets.  We choose these two pieces from maybe 10 or so pieces.  They were chosen for not only color, but for cutting and clarity.  They are eye clean and in louping them, we don' recall seeing any black platelets, but if they are hard to find and are there, it indidates natural origin and perhaps even the location from where they were found. 1.95ct Cushion (cf-08-01) 2.28ct Oval  (cf-08-02) $300/ct or $275/ct if purchased together.

35mm Quartz Sphere with SILVER Rutile Needles.  Unusual as Rutile in Quartz is usually  gold!  This sphere was lit up from the bottom to show off the needles.  (cc-08-01)  $125

Large Australian Gold Nugget

14 grams(.45 ounces) - Large Australian Gold Nugget from the Victoria Goldfields.  An amazing piece that will hopefully not be melted down for scrap.  Even though this is essentially pure gold, it is worth far more than "it's weight in gold" - as specimens like this have a much higher value...  (msi-08-01)   $925 (For every $100 above a Gold Price of $900/ounce, add $100 to the price shown.  To obtain an accurare price quote, please send an email and we will quote a price and lock you into that days quote!)

Large Natural Sapphire Crystal from Sri Lanka weighing 44.26cts.  Crystals have always been popular and have increased in priced.  It is actually illegal to export crystals from many countries, Sri Lanka being one of them.  (minco-08-03)   $575

A French-made Bronze belt buckle, found on the Waterloo Battle site.  Date of manufacture is said to be 1810-1815 from an international antiquities dealer we have purchased items from over the past 10 or so years.  The round part of the buckle is approximtely 69mm.  (prmgns-08-01)  $475   NEW PRICE! (Priced high initially at $975 to insure it did not sell!  We have made photos so that we can create the design in gold or silver in the future as a potential pendant)

A polished piece of Russian Jasper from the Ural Mountains in the center, surround by two natural mineral borders (white and black) with a hanger on the back.  Unique and work intensive to create  because it is polished natural minerals, the center will never have two that look similar.  These are actually not  common and this is only the second one that we have had in 26 years.  We have requested more, but as in gemstone rough and faceted gemstones, just because one requests an item doesn't mean that the material is available - at any price.  This is a poor photo as there are reflections in the black border as well as the Jasper.  The piece looks far nicer in person and would look great hanging on a wall or even on a plate holder on a desk, piece of furniture or curio cabinet.  This measures approximately 4x5 inches.   $249
