23 February 2010Severalbeautiful green, white, and cat’s eye Moonstones were posted today. All of them inexpensive and eye-catching (for example, (MO3762A).
A pair of sensational, large 9.7mm round Hessonite Garnets from Sri Lanka (GR3761): their photo does not come close to how bright and full of fire they are in real life!
An unusual Scapolite crystal (SA3714) with a naturally polished exterior and wonderful etching: a great jewelry centerpiece.
And several Sapphires, singly and in pairs and lots. Many of them rounds. See the richly purple pair (SP3771) and the single amethystine purple (SP3770), both natural. A nice lot of four round natural blues (SP3776) and one of smaller sizes and more intense color that have been heated (SP3773). A lovely bright cinnamon Sapphire from Madagascar (SP3769), a green Sapphire of 3.04cts (SP3768) and a couple of lovely pinks (SP3772 and SP3783).
Check on all the “New” stones in the photo galleries to see others I have not specifically mentioned.
03 DecemberA beautiful 9.13ct Aquamarine drop (BR3746) was just added along with two pairs of Mandarin Spessartite Garnets (GR3748 and GR3749) and a single Mandarin cushion of 4.09cts (GR3747). Also a pair of 6.0mm round natural yellow Sapphires (SP3718) and two small, colorful collections of Sapphires (SP3733 and SP3734). A few smaller (1ct plus), individual natural Sapphires were also posted, all well-priced to sell.
01 NovemberI added nearly 20 Sapphires to the **DOUBLE ZERO** category of beautiful, inexpensive, natural stones (Several SOLD). All eye-clean (some loupe-clean) despite the inclusions the camera’s sharper-than-human eye has picked out. These are bright stones, almost all above one carat.
11 OctoberThis afternoon I added several new Sapphires and a rare yellow Star Sapphire (SS3675). There is a delightful pair of oval cinnamon Sapphires (SP3698) and several round Blues and Purples including two matched pairs of natural Blues (SP3696 and SP3697-SOLD). And take a look at the 7mm round Blue Sapphire (SP3694-SOLD).
07 OctoberA great find today! A 24.58ct oval transparent Star Sapphire with a very pleasing light blue color and a strong white star (SS3691-SOLD). And a loupe-clean, very fine quality Blue Sapphire cushion of 3.06cts (SP3690). And, finally, a delightful 2.12ct Blue-Green Sapphire, all natural (SP3689-SOLD). Several **DOUBLE-ZERO** category, natural Sapphires were added: notable among them is an unusual, natural Cognac Sapphire (SP00112A-SOLD).
05 OctoberAdded a bright 6.75mm round natural Purple Sapphire (SP3673-SOLD), a beautiful 2.46ct trilliant Blue (SP3687), a gorgeous 2.62ct oval Blue (SP3676), and a 2.75ct cushion Blue (SP3688-SOLD). An intensely colored Mango-Yellow Zircon (ZR3655-SOLD) as well as a Gold octagon Zircon (ZR3660-SOLD) and a Champagne one (ZR3679). Beautiful stones all!
