Have you seen the Rwanda material floating around the market, these days?
Joe Henley posted a few pics of some he got. The color is bluer than IRL, of course, but nonetheless, it's still fantastic looking material.

The Rwanda material is amazing. Mortary Gem Art has some gorgeous examples of cut specimens on their website (many are already sold).

That’s exactly what I didn’t want to happen. Just kidding! ; ) I actually would like like a much smaller amethyst for a ring. When I’m ready, I’ll call him. He mostly posts large gems in unusual cuts. I think his prices on amethysts are very reasonable for the quality.

FYI, there is a gorgeous blue color change garnet on this sight for someone with much deeper pockets than mine!

@chatoyancy, I have one blue-purple color change garnet, very pretty.
I don't know how good his stones are, I wonder if they remind "those" Siberian amethyst that we only heard about.

I never bought anything from Moriarty Gems, so I can't vouch for their quality/professionalism. I just enjoy their website and videos.

I’d love to see a pic of your blue-purple color change garnet! I know I saw a pic of someone’s garnet on here. I think I even commented on it.

I think his videos of the amethysts are gorgeous. It would be nice if they looked like that IRL.

George Elliott was the cutter I knew who dealt in them from time to time, but there were a few guys more on the mining side, Ken and Jason, floating around. I think the owner (Rodney Moore) sold off the property and it may no longer be actively mined, which would explain the recent dearth....

I thought I heard my name mentioned in here....Long time, no visit...
