Finishing the rest of the blues before they are off to the lab for reports. This one completed at 2.54ct and 8.5 x 6.7mm. Is heated, with a few inclusions visible, but just love this blue. Be on the website in a few weeks.

Reworked this Sri Lankan Pink Sapphire - and kept it above 3ct. Very convenient square cushion too! Stats: 3.33ct and 8-3/4mm. Heated, and on its way to the lab. Will be on the website soon.

While working in Sri Lanka we seldom see larger Purple Sapphires. So we were very pleased to have this one passed across the buying table. Started at 4.53ct with a wide open culet, and finished at 4.00ct. Measures 10.2 x 8.05 x 5.65mm and will be on the website soon.

Oval reigns queen when it comes to blue Sapphire from Sri Lanka. So was excited to find an emerald cut
to recondition. Finished at 3.17ct and 7.1/7.2mm. Is heated, and on its way to AGL for a lab report. Will be on the website soon!

[Roger Dery @Roger_Dery]

Now that we are back from Sri Lanka, the recutting begins! This Sapphire finished at 7.18ct and measures 11.6 x 10.15 x 7.95mm. It is off to the lab today and will be on the website soon. Heat only, report coming in a few weeks - and yes is available! Just lovely....

The colors of Tourmaline coming out of Africa never ceases to amaze me. From the Congo, finished at 4.72ct and 10.5 x 9.15mm. Is not totally clean, but then when are blue Tourmalines really clean? Will be on the website soon as Reg #1912047 Hope you like it as much as we do!

[Roger Dery @Roger_Dery]

Oh the dispersion! At least that is one of the things we love about Sphene. Picked up a piece in Sri Lanka and then recut it into this fabulous piece. Finished at 13.03ct and 13.7mm. Will be on the website soon as Registry #1912036.

[Roger Dery @Roger_Dery]

Red Zircon at its best. Finished by Bjorn at 11.63ct, and 10.8mm, will make a great addition to our inventory. This is from a mine in Tanga Region Tanzania in 2018. Available as Registry #1912020.

[Roger Dery @Roger_Dery]

In recent years we have not had regular access to top quality Peridot. So here is a throwback to a piece I cut in the fall of 2004. Finished at 8.39ct and 11.35mm. Will be on the website as Registry #1912029 in the coming days.

[Roger Dery @Roger_Dery]

Sometimes I need to facet something 'outside the box'. This Madagascan Morganite finished at 12.41ct and will be on the website soon as Registry #1912026.
