Weight before: 2.33 ct

Measurements: 7.27 x 7.40 x 4.74mm.

A recut of the pavilion removed the window from the gemstone. Giving it more life and makes it more compelling for the eyes.
Emeralds were mined in Egypt as early as 330 BC, but some estimate that the oldest emeralds are 2.97 billion years old. Cleopatra is perhaps the most famous historical figure to cherish emerald gemstones. She even claimed ownership of all emerald mines in Egypt during her reign.

Emeralds from Afghanistan are well known in the trade for their beauty and size, and are considered a historic source of fine emeralds.

This gemstones origin would be classified as being of ''Afghanistan/Pakistan''. With indications of minor clarity enhancement with Oil.

Tourmaline is a gemstone that belongs to a complex family of borosilicate mixed with iron, magnesium or other various metals that depending upon the proportions of its components may form as red, pink, yellow, brown, black, green, blue or violet.

Color-change tourmalines are also exceptionally rare. Neon-blue paraíba tourmalines, raspberry-red rubellites, and emerald-green chrome tourmalines are especially prized.

Set in a goldring, this gemstone had lost it's beautiful star!
Years of use can be seen on this gemstone. With a little touch, it got it's star back.

When parallel, needle-like inclusions, or tube-like channels, are oriented along two or more of the crystal faces of a mineral, and when that stone is cut as a domed cabochon, a four to six rayed figure is displayed on the dome.

This phenomenon of reflected light is called "asterism" and the gems are called star stones. The most commonly seen examples are star corundums; where there are inclusions of titanium oxide (rutile or "silk") parallel to three crystal faces giving a six rayed star.

In rare cases a twinned crystal slightly offset with its own set of rutile needles can lead to the formation of a twelve rayed star.

This blue beauty came to me for a repolishing. Being very badly treated, I thought I should treat this beautiful gemstone with some love. And the result speaks for itself. As always with minimal weight loss.

Sapphires are a variety of mineral corundum in different colours.
Sapphires are among the hardest and most precious gems on Earth On the Mohs scale of hardness, they score an astounding 9 out of 10 (only diamonds being harder).

Sapphires can be found in a variety of colors, Sapphires get their rainbow of colors from trace elements within the mineral corundum.

The stunning shade of blue in blue Sapphires are from the presence of iron and titanium. Trace elements of chromium can turn corundum pink, while more chromium turns it into a ruby.

Sapphires are pleochroism stones. Meaning, viewing these stones from two different angles.

If you are looking for a special gemstone, I can help you.

Weight after: 2.07 ct
Weight before: 2.17 ct

Measurements: 7.32 x 4.70 mm

Giving this gemstone a crown with better symmetry, proportions and polishing.
It looks much better for years to come.

Although colorless when chemically pure, zircon is typically yellow-brown to brown. One of the most typical features of zircon is the high double refraction.
It will show clear doubling of pavillion facets in faceted stones when viewed through the crown.

Colorless Zircon is known for its brilliance and flashes of multicolored light, called fire. These Zircon properties are close enough to the properties of diamond to account for centuries of confusion between the two gems.

Zircon is a mineral species that can be broadly defined as a zirconium silicate containing trace amounts of the radioactive minerals hafnium, uranium and thorium.
Over time, these radioactive components break down the lattice of the crystal, eventually (over tens of thousands of years) destroying the internal crystal lattice and leaving it with an amorphous structure and a dark, pithy appearance.

Topaz has an exceptionally wide color range that, besides brown, includes various tones and saturations of blue, green, yellow, orange, red, pink, and purple.

It is also pleochroic, meaning that the gem can show different colors in different crystal directions.

In nature, Topaz is most commonly colourless, and naturally strong blue gems are extremely rare.

Morganite from Mozambique Weight after: 1.83 ct Morganite from Mozambique 

Weight after: 1.83 ct 
Weight before: 15.74 CT

Measurements: 7.49 x 7.80 x 5.20 mm 

Morganite is the pink to orange-pink variety of beryl, a mineral that includes emerald and aquamarine.
Morganite’s subtle color is caused by traces of manganese. Because Morganite has distinct pleochroism—pale pink and a deeper bluish pink—it’s necessary to orient the rough carefully for fashioning. Strong color in morganite is rare, and gems usually have to be large to achieve the finest color.

This gemstone have a light pinkish colour.

Weight before: 8.84 ct

Tanzanite is the blue and violet variety of the mineral zoisite, caused by small amounts of vanadium. Tanzanite belongs to the epidote mineral group. Tanzanite is only found in Simanjiro District of Manyara Region in Tanzania, in a very small mining area approximately 7 km long and 2 km wide near the Mererani Hills.

Deep saturated violet blue or blue violet are the most valuable tanzanite colors. Paler hues are more commonly found. Eye-visible inclusions decrease the value of tanzanite, particularly in lighter colored stones. Tanzanite is available in a wide range of shapes, cushion and oval cuts are most common.

Because the crystals show different colors depending on the viewing direction, cutters can fashion gems with a range of color from violetish blue to bluish violet depending on how much weight they want to retain from the rough.

Recutting is the process of taking a poorly cut stone and turning it into a well-cut stone, and is a great way to add value to a gemstone.

Spinels are allochromatic gemstones. This means that color in spinels comes from the presence of trace elements acting as chromophores. Spinels free of trace elements appear colorless. Chromium, iron, and cobalt are the most common chromophores in spinel.

Tourmaline from Tanzania

Weight after: 2.67 ct
Weight before: 9.03 ct

Measurements: 8.84 x 6.81 x 5.53mm

Tourmalines have a very complex chemical composition, and more than a dozen mineral species are recognized within this group. Their highly variable chemical composition gives rise to a wide range of colors. 

Blue tourmaline can range in tone from light to dark. The hue is often modified by green so you can have a blue color with just a little bit of green modifying color or a color that is very greenish but still blue. Some tourmalines have an even amount of green and blue to the color.

Among the many varieties of elbaite tourmaline are verdelite (green), indicolite (blue) and rubellite (red). Some tourmaline specimens display multiple colors. Optical effects include pleochroism (a change of color when the gemstone is rotated) and chatoyancy (a “cat’s-eye” seen in reflected light).

Aquamarine’s color range is very narrow: It can be blue, very slightly greenish blue, greenish blue, very strongly greenish blue, or green-blue. The most valuable color is a dark blue to slightly greenish blue with moderately strong intensity.
In general, the purer and more intense the blue color, the more valuable the stone. Most aquamarine is a light greenish blue.

Mozambique Aquamarine colour is usually a light pastel greenish blue.

Mozambique Aquamarine crystals are known to be large in size and relatively clean and well-formed, making them particularly valuable to collectors of mineral specimens. Aquamarine’s name comes from the Latin for seawater and it was said to calm waves and keep sailors safe at sea.

Tourmaline Weight: 1.11 ct Measurements: 5.55 x Tourmaline

Weight: 1.11 ct

Measurements: 5.55 x 5.14 x 4.02 mm

My favourite family after the garnet family! Tourmalines have a wide variety of exciting colors with one of the widest color ranges of any gem.

This little gemstone is bright and have a lovely colour.

A tourmaline’s chemical composition directly influences its physical properties and is responsible for its color.

Tourmalines make up a group of closely related mineral species that share the same crystal structure but have different chemical and physical properties.

They share the elements silicon, aluminum, and boron, but contain a complex mixture of other elements such as sodium, lithium, calcium, magnesium, manganese, iron, chromium, vanadium, fluorine, and sometimes copper.

Tourmaline’s colors have many different causes, generally traces of iron, and possibly titanium, induce green and blue colors. Manganese produces reds and pinks but possibly yellows. Some pink and yellow tourmalines might owe their hues to color centers caused by radiation, which can be natural or laboratory-induced.

This little blue beauty was cut in my special radiant cut with total of 73 facets.
A bright and alive gemstone that is a delight for the eyes.

With a hardness of 7.5 to 8 on Mohs hardness scale, it is perfect to set in a ring.

Aquamarine’s name comes from the Latin for seawater and it was said to calm waves and keep sailors safe at sea.

March’s birthstone was also thought to enhance the happiness of marriages.
The best gems combine high clarity with limpid transparency and blue to slightly greenish blue hues.

Like many beryls, aquamarine forms large crystals suitable for sizable fashioned gems and carvings.

Fun fact:
Aquamarine is mined at high elevations in Pakistan’s Karakoram Mountains,
as high as 15 000 feet! That is hard work!

Australia has assumed a major role in the production of blue sapphire. Most of the gem material comes from alluvial deposits in the Anakie (central Queensland) and New England (northern New South Wales) fields. Mining techniques range from hand sieving to highly mechanized operations.

Australian sapphires are predominantly blue (90%), with some yellow, some green, and a very few parti-colored stones. The rough stones are commonly heat treated in Thailand to remove the silk.

A trapiche Ruby from Kashmir, 5.50 ct.

Trapiche ruby is a rare variety of ruby that is currently found in only 2 locations on earth: Myanmar (Burma) and India.

Trapiche rubies are named after a six-spoked cogwheel used in sugar cane mills (trapiche de cańa azucar in Spanish). They often have sharp, hexagonal growth lines that create a fixed, 6-ray star and are often cut into slices to show off their unique appearance.

This is a very unique gemstone, very rare and it have a beautiful deep colour.
