It is mid-year, and we have to take a break again - my good friend, a German doctor, had a third stroke. So we are going to Germany, and I am self-supporting, so...
I did not sell much, ever, and my phone broke, Galaxy Note 8 is not there yet and the cheaper phone that I bought in the meantime takes shamelessly poor photos. I am making a listing today, plan to take photos tomorrow.
- peachy-dusty rose- pink tourmaline, African, old material, unheated, precision round cut (beautiful cut), tons of fire! I always planned to sell it and then held back. 6.87 ct. I am positive someone will love it.
- merelani mint, a precision cut (a recut), 4.16 ct, on the light side but very green, no grey, very clean. There is also a Mali garnet that I bought planning to make a three-stone ring out of a mint, a Mali and a spinel, the Mali and the mint could be sold together or separately
- a bicolor blue/white sapphire, 2+ct, unheated, octagon cut, bought from Tan.
- feelers for a blue heart-shaped emerald 1.15 ct it is untreated but has inclusions so will be very cheap.
- a ring made by James Meyer in old times featuring a 0.7 ct pink sapphire cut by Gene Flanigan - I almost never wore it because it was too small for my hand, it is well-made, beautiful bezel, with tiny side diamonds.
Two Welo opals, that sat in my safe for many years and did not change. Safe, I think. One is a beautiful trilliant with amazing colorplay; could be sold together with a semisphere cherry opal, I planned to make a "yacht" with the opal being a sail, they match well
- a sugarloaf tsavorite
some side spessartites
(Possibly) Movado two-tone gold earrings
(Possibly) golden bracelet with granulations and several stones (a garnet, a peridot, a topaz, if I am not mistaken)
To continue tomorrow. Part of the proceeding will be sent for Canadian wildfire relief or used to cover what I have already donated
I shall post on Loupetroop.

I hope they are able to recover quickly and fully, although there always seems to be some lasting effects with stroke, unfortunately 
I guess when it rains, it pours. Good luck with it all - I know you have an excellent eye, so your stones will be lovely and can't wait to ogle them.
