Fresh New Gemstones

4.46 carat pair of Neon Green African Tourmaline - Terrific Nigerian lemony green tourmaline. To see them is to love them!

Pair of Vietnamese Topaz adding up to over 47 carats!

4.94 Carat Deep Orange-Red Vietnamese Zircon - Zircon offers great value in red untreated gemstones.

5.69 carat Vietnamese Zircon - Zircon of this shade is often heat treated into a more fashionable shade of blue. However, the natural stone has a beauty all its own. In fact, we prefer it pure and untreated.

.79 carat Ceylon Sapphire

3.36 carat Ceylon Raspberry Garnet - Only garnet offers so much for so little.


2.08 carat fancy rounded rectangular African Sapphire in a barely there yellow tint.

Icy violet blue 1.43 carat African Sapphire.

.61 carat fine cornflower blue African Sapphire.

.69 carat fine Kashmir blue African Sapphire.

2.15 carat metallic blue green African Sapphire.

Best wishes for a wonderful holiday season as sparkling as our favorite gems!

Halloween Costume Party

Green cats eyes
in midnight gloom
fly with the witch
on her ragged broom
over dark hills where
bonfires loom.

It is time for the colors of Halloween.
Electrified velvety purples, alien life
form green and the starlit black of the night sky.

3.33 carat Star Diospide - A cream colored ray on a field of true black.

2.15 carat Earthy Orange Purple African Sapphire - This is not your everyday sapphire. Minor inclusions are visible only under the lens.

1.16 carat Ceylon Sapphire - A surprising cocktail of pink, purple, violet and red.

1.02 carat Ceylon Sapphire - Strong untreated natural color shifting between reddish purple and violet purple.

2.02 carat Ceylon Padparadscha - Clean, mildly colored pear shaped natural padparadscha. Remarkably fluorescent and fully saturated even in dim light.

2.67 psychedelic green African Tourmaline - Natural unheated and untreated mint tourmaline. Seeing this tourmaline is to love it. This is crazy, vibrant, in-your-face green.


Some treats are SO much better than candy!
