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. |
