Any Carved Gemstones?

Those are so wonderful:)
I love carved stones! I have just a few I think. 2 aquamarine statement pieces, and some earrings with carved quartz over abalone. And, some carved spess cabs. I used to have a great carved labradorite ring, but I lost it. They have a wonderful, unique and personal spirit which is just fabulous and rewarding while wearing.

First, carved aqua horse pendant with carving on the underside of the cab. In dim light and in bright light.

Next, carved aqua brooch often worn as a pendant. Kinda reminds me of a solar event, like an eclipse. Love this piece.

Will get the carved spessartites out. I may have more carved pieces, not including carved jadeite. I’ll have to think.....

I absolutely love the carved aqua horse! Aqua is a favorite gem & I grew up with horses so I’m in love with this pendant whenever you post pictures of it! :kiss2::kiss2::kiss2:

Hey thanks, @Hivona !
 
Here is my aquamarine frog ring! This is really fitting for me because I breed dart frogs and glass frogs. Supposedly they are ruby eyes. I habe ny doubts about that. I adore it!20190313_104315_HDR.jpg 20190313_104353_HDR.jpg 20190313_104339_HDR.jpg20190313_104402_HDR.jpg819201617228.jpg8192016172222.jpg8192016172152.jpg

The translucency and evenness of colour makes it like a piece of jelly. I always admire your collection. :razz: I remember you showed a craved opal octopus.

So amazing! I love it!:love:
 
Thank you Stracci! He feels like a little friend on my finger!
 
Plenty of Opals out there that have been carved into amazing sculptures! Although one of the more...interesting(?) ones I've seen recently was carved in the shape of a very curved male appendage.

It sold quickly.

Carved by mother nature and goes in the same direction what youve talked about... hope I violate here nothing:saint:

It is rather phallic in shape!

The Opal I saw is an absolutely perfect carving, I still laugh when I think about it. Stuff like that certainly has got a demand for it surprisingly...
 
I love carved tourmalines (organic carvings) but own none. Here are some I've saved as inspiration. The green is tourmaline, the blue is tanzanite.leaf tanzanite.jpgleaf tourmaline carved.jpg

I wonder if it falls into the ‘healing gemstones’ category
:lol:

@Rfisher, did you ever do anything with your absolutely charming carved moon collection? I especially love the kind of wonky looking ones! I'd love to see a long necklace of these.

Unfortunately no.
I love the idea of a long station necklace with these tho!
