Description

A nice set of three blue stones that would be a perfect addition to a collection of learner stones, or for setting! I’ve acquired too many blue stones and unfortunately am not likely to get around to setting them all. I’m trying to find these ones a good home as they are very nice gems that deserve to be set and enjoyed more.

***
London Blue topaz
1.61 ct (didn’t keep the measurements, it’s approx. 7.5mm), Excellently cut round.
Eye clean, irradiated, beautiful medium-dark to dark blue with a hint of teal. Great for those of you who like darker stones that do not black out (well, except in total darkness). No window. The handshot is the most representative of the actual color I normally see; this is a stone that stubbornly refused to photograph accurately!
Purchased from Jeff Davies on Ebay

Light blue aquamarine
3.12ct, 13.00x8.77x5.59m, Portuguese cut pear
Eye clean, Brazil, heat
Very light colored blue, almost silvery blue in some lighting. As it is a very light colored gem with low RI, it does have a window but it can be minimized with setting - please refer to the photo!
Purchased from Jason Brim at Select Gem

Zircon
2.18ct, 7.3 x 5.9 x 5.4 mm, oval cut
Heat. Nice medium blue with a hint of teal, in my mind this is just right– not too light and not too dark! Sparkly and with a good commercial cut, no window . Nice high crown and tiny table, too! I’m only reluctantly letting this one go as I had planned to set it into a stacker, may change my mind and keep this one…. (oh the perils of CS addiction!!)
Purchased from Chris Auletta on Fine Faceted Gems & Cabs group on Facebook.

I’d prefer to sell these as a set of three for US$65, but would consider selling the stones individually ($45 for the zircon, $30 for the aqua, $10 for the topaz). The set price is around half of what I paid for them, so it’s a good bargain for anyone wanting to add some blue gems to their collection.

I am mochiko42 on PS and Ebay.

A note about photos: I try to capture photos to show the gems in a variety of realistic lighting, including in harsh incandescent (office) lighting, so potential buyers can have a realistic idea of the stone's appearance. Please note though that my photos are taken with a camera phone, and the stones are without exception MUCH, MUCH, nicer in person than the photos can show.

All sales are final, so please be sure to ask any questions before purchase. All prices are in US dollars and include Paypal fees, but exclude shipping. I will only ship out items upon receipt of payment. For local (Hong Kong) buyers, I am happy to include FREE local registered mail or to meet up in person. (Note: I'll add another discount if you pay via Paypal "friends/family personal payment" or if you are local and pay via direct deposit or in person.)

International shipping is US$10 for registered air mail (non-insured) or US$25 for EMS courier Speedpost (registered and insured). Shipping fees can be combined for multiple purchases.

Thank you!
