30.30ct Ametrine in an incredible pattern and shape, getting over 2000 likes in only 2 days online!
Ametrines finished by two different cutters (from our special rough!) and they include:
   32+ct Cut in attractive design called the Stone Saver
   Almost 26ct Checker Board Oval
   30.30ct Kite-like shape with both flat faceting and grooving! (again posted by others and tons of likes!)
A Blue Flash Amethyst in a Diamond Shape weighing 15.97cts, as well as a 13.92ct Shield.
Two faceted gems from one of our newest and youngest cutter:  4+ct Spear Shaped African Garnet and a Kite Shaped Blue Flash Amethyst weighing 16.16cts.
Three beautiful pieces of included quartz, with green star-like crystal formations – some of these seem to have been dusted with another white and beige mineral!  (priced to move as a group – they are all different and fascinating)
Two incredibly beautiful, intricate 18kt White Gold Rings have been custom created and are described below:
   GIA Certed Pad surrounded by Diamonds,flanked by Glowing Blue Sapphires/Pad-like Sapphires in 18kt White Gold
   Montana Sapphire surrounded by White Sapphire and Matching Blue Sapphire Melee in 18kt White Gold
                                                                    
Gemstones in Cutting:
Two more Ametrines are currently in queue to be faceted.
We have two large 100ct Oregon Sunstones that will be carved and/or cut by the multi-award winning cutter, Dalan Hargrave.  Again, no progress this month – his queue is backed up and apparently there is about a year plus wait….

All That Glitters to Visit/Work Sapphire Claim in Montana:
We will be visiting an active mining claim in Montana where wonderful Sapphires can be found.  We hope to spend some time there seeking rough, and if we are fortunate, our U.S. cutters will facet this material and we will be able to offer our customers the treasures from our adventure!...  (And as usual and expected, way below retail pricing)
