Show us your bicolor gems

Marlow · Mar 8, 2015

Yes - there are some awesome crystals.

Look at the long blue to colorless tourmaline in my picture - was a cheap (10EUR) afghanistan stone - I picked it out of a large lot.
A terrible cut but the stone clean with a fine color!! Sometimes it is a shame!

I missed a gorgous gem - a bicolor Grossular!!! 1/3 colorless and 2/3 top green ( Tsavorite ) - a baguette around 0,60 ct...

These are old pics and not very good ones, but here's an ametrine I bought from a Brazilian gem cutter (technically bought from the cutter's daughter who is my friend's personal massage therapist!). Bought in my very early days of PS - I liked it because it was nearly a 50/50 split of color.

This is not mine unfortunately, but this is from Jeff White's galleries - a bi-coloured Mali garnet.

Fantastic garnet.

What I find awesome about this thread - and in fact, many of the threads you start Marlow - is that you have me seeing and appreciating things in a new way. These bicos are unbelievably beautiful and I don't think I own one! I've been so of the mindset of getting ring stones that are of good pure hue that I completely missed how amazing some of these stones can be. Uli's LF designs are stunning. LK, your description of yours as neverending is so intriguing that I want to see it. Anyway, thank you for the thread - I'm not at all surprised to see how fast people are responding to it.

Now I will humbly go off in search of multicolored stones as gorgeous as all in this thread.

I know that parti sapphires and ametrine are pretty common but I want something spectacular. Here are my inspiration pics!

Ricezo, the second stone reminds me of a sunset.

Hi everyone,
I have been a lurker on PS for quite awhile but I figured that I should probably introduce myself and post a couple of photos since I have the ametrine from Uli. The stone is even better looking in real life than in pictures. He did an amazing job. I had it set by Sally who was also wonderful to work with.
Sorry for the bad photo:

Marlow · Mar 9, 2015

Perfect - you set it as a pendent!!! Silver??? And the little stones??

LoversKites · Mar 9, 2015

Beautiful ametrine pendant, stormchaser.

Thanks! I will admit that all of the credit goes to Uli and Sally (I had no idea how I wanted it set). The setting is silver with a thin rope of gold on the bail. The small stones are peridot.
