Select Rough - Page 1

Page 1     Page 2     Page 3

What I want to do on this page is highlight some of the select rough stone that I have.

The idea is to give you an indication of some of the material I have and let you have first option on having it cut in a design that you want. Otherwise I'll cut them in due course in which ever design I happen to decide upon. So if you see something that you really like and think, geez... that'd make a fantastic Smith Bar (or something), let me know! :-)

This rough is not for sale as rough.

Fanta Orange Spessartite Garnet, Tanzania

Stone : Fanta Orange Spessartite Garnet
Item : #r124

Weight : ~5 ct
Clarity : Very Slightly Included to Eye Clean

Comments : This is top quality fanta orange spessartite garnet from Tanzania. It is a highly desirable colour and is becoming scarce due to the deposits being depleted. This is amazing when cut... the final gem is bright and brilliant and absolutely stunning!

Grossular Garnet, Mali, Africa

Stone : Grossular Garnet
Item : #r126
Origin : Mali, Africa
Weight : ~5 ct
Clarity : Very Slightly Included to Eye Clean

Comments : Grossular garnet cuts a very diamond-like brilliant stone, with high dispersion and sparkle. Cut gems over 1 carat are scarce as this material rarely comes in large sizes. The colours range from a lime/green and yellow/green to a nice orangey bronze. This material is well suited to round brilliant style cuts.
