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.

Some superb, large stones of rich chrome Tourmalines have just arrived. The colors range from the lighter, green colors to the deeper green. Being colored by Chrome, these stones will show up 'red' under the Chelsea Filter
These stones look superb when cut into ovals, cushions, octagons but only cut the lighter stones into brilliants.

Just a few of the larger Green Garnets have come in. Again, Tanzanian in origin, these larges stones have become very difficult to procure and are always in demand. Last year showed a marked decrease in the production of these rare stones. Unfortunately, the situation has not changed this year and we feel priviliged to have some excellent stones on offer as well as a few over 5ct in size

Below this list is PLATE 9B/AU- Orthoclase
