Tunduru Chrysoberyl
 
I realized that I didn't faceted a Chrysoberyl for years. Don't know why it's great gem material with finest optical properties. Polishes slowly but in the end the facets are supershiny. Should do it more often! From this years fair in Sainte-Marie-aux-Mines.

available
 
Tunduru Chrysoberyl, 0.65 cts.  



















 
 
Marolambo Rhodolite
 
Beside Ampanihy the finds from Marolambo has a more warm reddish colour. Often a lighty silky appearance but this doesn't do so.
With slighty over 3 cts. a fine size for the "Siebenstern" design.
3.07 cts.

Brazil Rutil-Quartz
 
A clea Quartz from Brazil with some Rutile-needles and a line of growing structures (not to obviously). I really like the Trinity with needles from Rutile, have faceted many of these in the last 15 years after I created this first (from 5 Trinity-designs). Still a favorite of mine.

, 15.9 x 13.4 mm
available

 
Brazil Rutil-Quartz, 14.18 cts.  



















 
 
Bitterfeld Co-Spinel

available

Oregon Fire Opal
 
This nice guy from Juniper Ridge were sticked on a dop for at least 5 years...
It was really time to give him a new shape and so it turned out as a Pipistrelli with splitted mains. Lovely golden colour and beside the typical silk perfect clarity.
1.95 cts.
, 10.1 x 6.9 mm
available

 
Oregon Fire Opal, 1.95 cts.

Brazil Aquamarine

available

Umba Garnet
 
Medium to dark red Rhodolite from the Umba-Valley in Tanzania. I did experiments with a tableless crown together with an pavilion. Originally intended for small Sapphires that often have a sixsided shape and are mostly very flat. With the similar RI of most members of the Garnet-family it works in a Rhodolite also very well.
1.38 cts., 6.0 x 4.5 mm
available


 
Umba Garnet, 1.38 cts.  



















 
 
Tourmaline
 
Here is a "rescued gem" a most probably brazil Tourmaline that was in its fomer life a boring round cabochon with a medium to week colour. Fascinating how strong the colour saturates through faceting. There lots of internals also eye visible in this gem, still lively and brilliant.
1.83 cts.
, 7.9 x 6.4 mm
available
 
Tourmaline, 1.83 cts.

Arusha Tanzanite
 
Another big Liquid Flower gem cut from a very special rough: a dichroic Tanzanite with light purplish bue and violet hues. Also from Arusha.
The rough was heated and this fascinating gem is a bit lighter that shows the LF-pattern so well.
12.83 cts.
, cts. 14.8 x 9.4 mm
available

 
Arusha Tanzanite, 12.83 cts.  



















 
 
Mocambique Hessonite

available
 
Mocambique Hessonite, 5.49 cts.

not for sale, sorry!



 
Arusha Tanzanite, 2.62 cts.  



















 
 
Auvergne Sapphire
 
From a new localitiy in the french "Massif Central" comes this spectaculare coloured Sapphire. The pic shows - as usual - the daylight colour (we call this colour "Bleu d´Auvergne") while incandescent light is just a small step softer and more grey. Absolutely eyeclean even a 40x magnification shows no internals. This beauty was faceted from a "yellow core"-crystal.
Hope to find more of this unbelievable stuff!
0.64 cts., 4.8 x 3.9 mm
sold



 
Sapphire "Bleu d´Auvergne", 0.64 cts.

available

 
Tanzanian Hessonite, 1.33 cts.  



















 
 
Vatomandry Sapphire
 
A colour changing Saphir from the east side of Madagscar, from Vatomandry. A little alexandrite-like character with greenish hue in natural daylight and more reddish/pinkish colour in incandescent light. In some light conditions both colour can be seen at the same time and/or much stronger.
1.20 cts.

Vatomandry Sapphire, 1.20 cts.
Vatomandry Sapphire, 1.20 cts.
 



















 
 
Ampanihy Rhodolite
 
This faceting was a bit experimental in order to play with 7 hexagons on a flat crown. Easy to cut and a nice result. Some silk and a rich dark red colour.
1.25 cts.
, 6.4 x 4.5 mm
available

 
Ampanihy Rhodolite, 1.25 cts.
