PLATE
"What's New"
Please
remember to mention PLATE 'What's New" when ordering from this
list
This plate was
updated January 1st, 2012
Moonstone - Tanzania - Ref
MS
We have
a great new selection of the very popular Moonstone from Tanzania. This
material has been in very short
supply for nearly
a year now and the very large pieces just are not being found.
But, we do have a little stock again, even if they are the smaller pieces.
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.

Orthoclase - Madagascar
- Ref. OF
Please
remember to mention PLATE 'What's New" when ordering from this
list
We are pleased to offer Orthoclase Feldspar again.This material shows
a clear, medium-light yellow color with a very slight green tone.
The rough is from an old stock in Madagascar and I don't believe it
is still being mined.
The
large sizes will cut stunning collector-size gems. Remember, the hardness
is 6 with a S.G. of around 2.58
and a Refractive Index of 1.52, quite similar to Quartz.

Spectrolite(?) Moonstone
- Tanzania - Ref SP
A totally new Feldspar has arrived from
Tanzania. Very similar to the Moonstone in looks, but this material
shows characteristics of Spectrolite (a variety of the Plagioclase Felspar).
However, unlike Spectrolite, this new material is clear and exhibits
numerous colors, mainly blue, purple and red flashes, many in the same
stone. I am not too sure what to classify this material as, 'Rainbow"
Moonstone, or Spectrolite Moonstone. I have not yet done any tests on
it.
It has also been the worst stone I have ever tried to photograph and
I have found it virtually impossible to capture all the numerous subtle
colors, thus, when you look at a stone, the blue color may be the dominant
color, but, orientate the stone slightly and a pink-yellow color may
appear. I apologize for this - if there is a photographer out there
who has experience in photographing this material, I would love to hear
from him/her.

Emerald
Ref MZ-1
This very unusual stone measures
30mm in length, 20mm at its maximum width and 8.5 mm thick. It
was found in the Marropino district of Mozambique and was one
of the largest stones found in that area.
It shows a medium-light green color, a little similar to the Columbian
stones.
Veils of bubbles are visible and one fracture roughly 2/3 down
the side of the stone. I would suggest cutting one really large
gem and possibly, two smaller stones The
stone weighs 48.59 ct and is offered at $2187.00,
that is, $45.00 per ct

Tourmaline
Ref AF-1
A very attractive single stone
from Afghanistan, showing graduation of color from light to dark
green. It measures 15mm x 14mm x 25mm in length. The stone does
show some 'silk' inclusions in the darker section of the crystal
but cut a most impressive gem.
The
stone weighs 62.40 cts and is offered at $2184.00,
that is, $35.00 per ct |

Amethyst Ref AM
The
Uruguayan Amethyst is another firm favorite with our clients, and,
again, these stones were hand-selected my myself. The color is a
rich purple and the rough lends itself to cutting matched, smaller
gems.
10 parcels on offer and I still have some in stock, so, no hurry
for this one!
The parcels
consist of 4 stones, with a total parcel weight between 29.00 ct-30.00
cts and are priced at $45.00 per parcel
