Freke is unloading!

[FrekeChild]

I've decided to unload a LOT of my loose stones and a few jewelry items.

So if you're looking for spinels, tourmalines, garnets, miscellaneous other gems, or some jewelry items, I may have something that interests you!

First up!

1.22ct 6.2mm dark blue spinel cut by Barry Bridgestock in a 14kt white gold Liebcor setting from ebay. Currently somewhere around a size 6.5/7

One thing I should mention about this particular stone is that it has an eye visible inclusion. It's been cut so it's almost dead center, and because this stone is a very pretty (Barry said it was one of the most desirable spinel colors because it looks similar to a sapphire) blue, that's why it was not originally priced higher. The inclusion has never bothered me, and I think Barry did a great job cutting around it.

The one picture that has the stone looking very bright and teal-y was taken with a flashlight to try to capture that color. This stone is a color shifter, under fluorescents, it looks like a deep purple blue. The pictures I have posted were taken at night with incandescent lighting.

I wouldn't be selling this except that I have my eye on another project and I need to raise funds ASAP!

Next:

Tourmaline Necklace(J) 1.44ct., 7.9x5.2mm tourmaline in 14K yellow gold[Gec]. This tourmaline from Mozambique is a medium to medium light minty green which did not come through well in my photo. It is eyeclean, having a small bubble-like inclusion which is visible in the detail photo and a fine, needle-like inclusion. It comes with the 18inch Stuller chain pictured. Cut and set by Barry Bridgestock.

I've come to the conclusion that this is an amazing stone, but I don't wear it as much as I thought I would! And I've found a project that I'm desperately trying to save up for!

Freke, do you have any other pink stones which are larger than this? I'd prefer pink sapphire or pink spinel, the more pink the better. Thanks.

I might, I will have to check in the next day or so. I saw in your thread you are looking at rubellite as well, how do you feel about pink tourmaline?

To be honest, Freke, I don't know much about tourmalines and I haven't had a chance to read up yet. All I know is that I've seen sapphires, spinels and rubelittes (as well as some garnets) in person but never tourmalines, not in pink anyay. The one you posted is very pretty.

I particularly love the sparkles/ scintillation from pink sapphires. I hope that's the right way to describe it!

 

[sparklz]

Is there a DB listing set up for the Raspberry Namanga garnet?
Thanks!

 

[FrekeChild]

Not yet. If it hasn't sold by Sunday, it will probably be listed then. (As that's the next time I should have enough time to take pictures, etc!)

 

[sparklz]

Thanks Freke!
In regards to the Raspberry Garnet, my main question is; what is the price? I wasn't sure if I could ask outright, but after reviewing Ella's rules, I think it would be ok to ask...
Thanks

How much do you want for the aqua?

I looked through my spreadsheet (yes, I have a spreadsheet of gems) and I might have one item that could tickle your fancy, as it's pink, and rather large, BUT it's light pink and an asscher.

9.6mm, 5.00 cts, light pink tourmaline, Barry Bridgestock

Attaching picture. This sucker is in the safe deposit box, so I'd have to go pull it out for more pics.

I purchased it for $160. I usually try to go from there! Here are a couple more pics of it.

It was purchased for $385. I'd like to get close to that!

Hmmm..... I will consult with my benefactor . The pink one that you posted is amazing too.
