For Sale Rubelite Tourmaline- different sizes

[Bron357]

Yay me finally working out how to compress photos so I can list on Loupe Troop.
So, yes, there’s a listing for the Rubelite Tourmalines on Loupe Troop.
Let me know what ones you’d like and how many. Bit tricky matching colour perfectly but hey, that’s natural gems for you.
Shipping is $15 US because I’m here in Sydney, Australia.
The little ones are basically free, but I will ask for a few $$ for the big ones if you want them (they are around .50 carat each).

How many mm are the cushions?

@Bron357 what size (mm) are the cushions?

 

[Maisie]

Definitely interested!!! How big is the largest one?

I don't see your listing on LT? I would like one of the larger cushions.

Hi @Bron357 - you said the large ones are ~ .50 carat each. Do you have any larger than a carat? Many thanks!

Just the one, oval 1.47 carats approx 8mm x 6mm. Very ruby like in colour, not “pristine” condition being vintage ( a few wee nibbles) But the colour is fabulous.
Top photo on right IS a ruby (not for sale).

When a stone has small nibbles does that affect durability? Or is it just a cosmetic thing and won’t make a difference once set?

Wee nibbles / facet wear are cosmetic and unless you are looking with a Loupe you can’t normally see them. Especially with coloured gems. I have ruby with a huge chip but unless you look for it, you don’t notice it.

Some of these little beauties arrived at my house. Just beautiful! @Bron357 is so generous with her wonderful stash of colorful goodness.

That gorgeous 8 x 6mm rubellite is sold. I have it on the best authority.

Could I ask what size the littlest ones are? I'm trying to make a red halo for a 12x10 white topaz.
