Please note - If you are viewing the website using a laptop computer, (apart from the Apple laptop), the colors
portrayed are very poor. I have found this to be the norm after checking numerous lap tops. The older desktop
screens still seem to give the most accurate colors, so, when ordering, please read the descriptions of the stones.
It will help you somewhat with the colors and your decisions regarding purchase.


Cutter - Barry Bridgestock

Tanzania has always been renowned for its famous Rhodolites and this material found in the Tanga region must be their finest. The rough displays a superb lighter pink color and is virtually completely free of 'silk' . In some stones, slight bubbles/silk may be observed. The stones are all very well-shaped and will give you an excellent return.

Our Brazilian Rhodolites have also been a big hit with the cutters. It is not often we see Rhodolite in such large sizes.
The color is very similar to the Tanzanian rough, possibly a shade darker but this can also be due to the size

A lovely parcel of the Nigerian Spessartites has just arrived. These stones have been a great seller and I hope you have a good look at them. Not the same color as the Tanzanian, BUT they are superbly clean gems, and exhibit a really beautiful burnt-medium-light orange-yellow color with just a touch of red. These are outstanding gems, definitely stones you should have on your 'want' list.
