anyone else into the the more non-traditional colors?

Ana,

The dark multicolor sunstone is one of the most expensive. My Photography skills are bad. I think I will have to have my son talk some pictures and put them up on the net for me.

Wow! That is a beautiful sapphire! What do you plan to do with it?
Suzanne

I haven''t decided yet. It is a great size for a ring. So I am looking for a nice setting that will show the colour of the stone as it is a really beautiful deep blue so I''d like white gold too keep the blue colour there but I am unsure as yet on what sort of style.

Just got this piece of non-traditional bicolor sapphire, 2.21ct, pink-violet.

Hi Widget,
Got it from e-bay @ $113, couldn''t effort the top notch stones from reputatble online vendor, yet coudnt resist the desire to own these preciousee...
Surprisingly the color zoning is quite an evenly split.

Cheers!

Awesome!
nice find.
I like it :}

 

[suzannecallison]

Cool find! I''m obsessing over sunstones right now, but when I saw your picture I instantly thought tourmaline. I have so much to learn...

 

[Sasori]

Nice tourmaline.
I''ve always wanted to get a bi-color watermelon tourm, but can figure out how to set it to bring out the color split. Especially these tourm are usually scissors cut

Hello Ana,

That is a very nice sunstone carving. As you turn the stone the colors change. Sunstone doesn''t photograph well. Some Oregon sunstone changes colors like alexandrite from a dark blue/green in daylight to a deep red in incandecent light. I do not own any of those but am still looking. I will try and take pictures of the ones I have and post them tonight.

I am looking for pure red oregon sunstone or orangey gemstone ( if possible of size in excess of 3 cts)

anyone who can supply them, please contact us :[email protected]

 

[al88]

what do you plan to do with it? we are looking for similar stone.

 

[Lurchie]

Storm, that garnet is gorgeous. Orange/pink/brown garnets are my fave and I keep thinking I should get myself one, but what to do with it? Just having it in my pocket would be enough. What will you do with it?

I would try Wayne Hartgrave at his ebay store:

http://stores.ebay.com/Plush-Diamond-Works_W0QQcolZ2QQdirZQ2d1QQdptZ0QQftidZ2QQtZkm

He mines his own stones from his own claim and then cuts them himself. He''s been doing this since 1959 I believe.

Im thinking maybe a tie tack for me :}

I love nearly all colors of gemstones and also appreciate different textures and patterns -- like this druzy

 

[Matata]

And this Mexican agate.

Yep, it''s pyrite.

 

[MJO]

I love the rainbow effect of the pyrite. I bought a peice just to put on the mantle of my fireplace. What I am really looking for is a scenic jasper/agate in multicolors.

A bit ago "Stoneageindustries" had a nice collection of mirror slabs of scenic jasper rather large and trully "scenic". I can't know if they still have them...
