Some rhodocrosite. This is Brazilian material, found in a very small pocket by Vale, a mining company. One of my dealers managed to buy part of the lot and tis was some of the nicest (the large jewellers and designers snapped up the best). There was plenty of larger cabs, but they were included, fractured or unevenly coloured. This one is around 1.5 cts, translucent and clean. It has 4 smaller marquise pals to keep it company.

My current love.

My favourite is definitely the rhodocrosite, for sure. How about a halo cabochon pendant? The Burmese ruby is also quite an eye catching stone with its vivid colouration. Thanks for showing part of your collection. I’m glad to finally see some.

WOW! You have quite a collection. The rhodocrosite and the princess-cut spinel are my favorites as well.

Great collection. You say that some of the colors you have aren''t "top colors" but I really like your color choices! TFS

Thank you guys for all the kind words - the pretties are feeling quite vain after all the compliments!

Harriet - I do seem to have a thing for glowing reds and pinks, don''t I?
