Newly Faceted or Newly Photographed Gemstones: 
Approx 16ct Grooved Ametrine – better photos to be posted when returned from cutter
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).  Priced to move out to the collector or someone who would like to make jewelry…
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:
Four more Ametrines are currently in queue to be faceted by one of our cutters, as well as two more species that we are not sure if anything will come of the rough.  Due to issues on the cutters side, completion has been  delayed.
A new young cutter also has two smaller pieces of Ametrine, two Blue Flash Amethysts and a purply Garnet.  Hoping for some incredible pieces to be returned in the future.  We have seen his work in photos in the past and hope our rough turns out as nice!
