stones for future projects



Heather...   here are some stones that I have right now.  The larger ones are pendant size and the smaller are ring size.

high quality Ellensburg Blue

this shows accurate color in daylight

These are not as high quality, but still would be considered gem grade and 'very good.  The small dark blue one is london blue topaz

These are Idaho Garnet.  The cabachon is a 6 star and the smaller one is gem grade.

This picture shows  the 'star'.  It is much sharper in the sun.

The green loaf shapes on the right are Chrysophase, the same type of stone as Ellensburg blue.  These were cut by a friend of mine and are very good.   The Green/Yellow is Flourite. 




These are Welo Opals cut by a guy in Idaho.  They are much better in person.  They look so good that they look fake.


The funny one to the left is a fancy cut blue topaz.
