Here is how I keep most of mine, mainly in magnetically locked boxes that ''suspend'' the stones between two clear polymer sheets, a neat way to store the unset stones so I can look at them from all angles without tweezers or getting fingerprints on them

Nice collection SS. The colors are so vibrant. Where do you get those magnetic suspension boxes?

I''d like to know too, SS. I can only find floating gemstone boxes in clear acrylic.

I''d also like to know. I have those round things that I just hate. on the bigger stones I end up cutting the cushion a bit so that the tops don''t pop off.

Back to the original question, one less than yesterday!!! But several more than when I first posted on this thread.

Sorry I came too late to get that answer for you but as always you are quite resourceful TL... I didn''t get mine from JTV (mine is branded from a company from whom I persuaded to buy some extra from my nefarious gemmy housing needs The JTV product looks to be exactly the same though!

Hi Lady_Disdain,

That blue stone is actually a Ceylon/Sri Lankaian sapphire... here are many more pics of it if you are interested

There are pictures of my other similarly colored stone there as well, hope you like the pictures

SS - I love the blue stone in the front row. Is it a spinel?

Thanks D&T, I appreciate your compliement Unfortunately due to a recent binge on orange and blue things... the best display those stones are getting is what you see, no settings for a while but in the meantime I can play with them in those nifty boxes
