So I decided to sell my huge round pink/peach US-cut unheated tourmaline and a 4.7 ct green one. They are both very nice stones but I am probably not a tourmaline person.

The pink one I always planned to set, it is a round stone, very lightly, more pink than peach, super clean, absolutely impossible to capture on the camera. It throws flashes and I am positive it will be a joy for someone who is a tourmaline person.

I shall try to make a good photo tomorrow. I am always scared of dropping it. It is more pink than peach, round cut, 6.7 ct I’f I remember correctly and $ 600

The green one is 6.7 ct and also $ 600. None has been worn and mostly they stayed in boxes.

I plan to sell a sugarloaf tsavorite from Lisa Elser as soon as I figure out the price. If interested contact me. I plan to post stones tomorrow.

Of other stones, a heliodor and possibly unseated blue/white Ceylon sapphire, very interesting cut.

A tiny 0.6 ct red spinel ring in high-carat gold is also on the list
 
Hi,

I am very interested in learning more about the tsavorite cab and sent an email.

Can’t wait to see these beauties ! Though red is generally not my colour I’m interested in having a small red spinel so I’d be interested in the ring
 
Count me as also interested in the Tsav cab and in the red Spinel ring - can't wait to see photos and more deets!
 
All sound interesting! What cut is the green tourmaline?
 
Following for pics - they all sound gorgeous
 
HI:

Waiting with anticipation...anything of yours will be top shelf.

cheers--Sharon

OK here is the problem. The green tourmaline was shot in a depository, with almost zero light. Very dim, like in any storage. I pulled it out and thought, ...maybe I should make a ring out of it? But...i do not wear tourmalines, even the big one. So ...maybe someone will be interested? If people are, I shall make another trip and make photos. 4.7 ct. Looks large and deep. 20180610_135313.jpg

This is a spessartite, Lloliondo, inclusions but very bright because of the cut, the smal one is thrown in as a gift, 2+ ct. 2.3 ct I think. 20180610_141730.jpg Have not decided on the price. Will be cheap.

Next to it - a tourmaline bought on ebay from a vendor known here. But it was very cheap, so I am selling it (the tourmaline) for $20+ shipment.

18B5F07C-B8F9-4767-8D51-9E3ABDC0612B.jpeg My peach tourmaline. It is immensely hard to photograph. Very clean, very dispersive. 6.76 ct. For $ 600 it is less than $ 100/ct.
 
OK spessartite is 2.5 ct 9x7.2 mm precision cut.

Anyone else dying to reach through the screen and shift that green tourmaline over just a bit so they could admire the 2.54ct vivd pinkish red ruby underneath? No? Just me? :lol:

@Arkteia - do you have more photos of the 7.4 tourmaline?

Hiya Ark!

Would you mind making listings on LT for your pieces? Thank you!
 
Think @Arkteia is doing s very good job at building excitement :dance:
 
Gorgeous! How much will you be asking for it?
Dear Kindred,

I don’t know yet.

I apologize- something totally distracted me during these days. I shall get back to this thread a little bit later.
