From left to right:

1) Barry Bridgestock: 7.7x10mm, supernova pink tourmaline (beautiful color, but finicky to photograph - always looks brown)
2) Gary Braun: Mahenge spinel
3) Bob Kast: rubellite tourmaline, 5mm
4) Bob Kast: JXR amethyst (I purchased the rough and had this cut)
5) Bob Kast: SI3 cushion cut morganite (the reflections of the inclusions bounce around the stone, making a circular pattern)
6) Gene Flannigan: 3.46ct Pakistani peridot, cut in his star80 pattern
7) Bob Kast: 8.6mm, natural white topaz, cushion Americana cut
Dan Stair: 8.97mm, spess garnet, square step cut pav, scissor cut crown

LOVE your collection!! The new Spinel is just lovely. It looks like a PURPLE pink on my monitor. Nicely cut too.

Thanks so much for sharing!!
