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.

	Stone : Fanta Orange Spessartite Garnet Item : #r124 Origin : Tanzania 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!

	Stone : Rhodolite Garnet Item : #r125 Origin : Tanzania Weight : Up to 20+ ct Clarity : Very Slightly Included to Eye Clean Comments : Delicious red/purple/pink rhodolite that looks so yummy you just want to pop it in your mouth and eat it! :-) This is beautiful material with lovely colour and saturation. This cuts a very bright and colourful gem. SEE A GEMSTONE CUT FROM THIS ROUGH HERE


	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.

	Stone : Tourmaline Item : #r89 Origin : Afghanistan Weight : 13.8 ct Clarity : Eye Clean Comments : This is a delightful tri-coloured afghan tourmaline in soft pastal tones ranging through bubblegum pink / clear / mint green. I expect this to cut a slightly included stone and would ideally suit a rectangular design. Open C axis. THIS PIECE OF ROUGH HAS BEEN CUT... SEE THE GEMSTONE HERE


	Stone : Tourmaline Item : #r90 Origin : Afghanistan Weight : 13.3 ct Clarity : Eye Clean to Very Slightly Included Comments : An excellent bi-coloured afghan tourmaline in soft pastal tones ranging mint green to clear.
