A darker blue aquamarine. I hate to call it a "Santa Maria" color as that has been so over used but this is a gorgeous blue that is different from the lighter blue/green blue aquamarines out there. This is a .95 untreated aquamarine that I got from Tan. It's from Madagascar and oval cut. It's got a window, but the darker aquamarine blue is what reeled me in on this one. It's a beautiful stone and close to what is considered the top end blue of aquamarines. Please email me any questions you may have as all sales are final.

A fun piece that could be used for jewelry or just a conversation/collection piece. A 10x8 strawberry quartz that shimmers/glows. It's a gorgeous piece that throws out pinks, reds and oranges as well as being very clean and dominantly pink (a lot of strawberry quartz is mostly white with a little red and pink flecks).

My last pair of swirl carved beads and second to last set of coral I will be selling. These are a beautiful pair of Japan Sea Angelskin coral beads. They are a salmon pink color and are fully drilled. They weight 31+ carats and measure 15mm+. These came from Carolyn Ehret and are 100% natural. These would make a beautiful set of earrings or a bracelet for summer! The craftsmanship is first rate and I see no flaws in the cutting or the stones themselves.

Easter egg anyone? For your consideration, a 13.62 oval/checkerboard cut Swiss blue topaz. This is another of the honkers that I wanted to see what something that big would look like in person and on the hand. That being said, I love this shade of blue. It's heated of course as all Swiss blue topaz's are but it's such a pretty stone and it really does look like a crystal egg (think the one from Risky Business). It's a clean VVS clarity stone and is 15x12. A clever person could make it into a ring with a bunny rabbit on each side of the shank of the ring holding up the egg! Please email me any questions you may have as this is a final sale. I accept PayPal from confirmed addresses only and as always shipping is included in the price. Nothing is set in stone and I consider every offer. Thank you so much for taking the time to look at my listings!

Another honker of a gemstone! This one is a 17.98 carat green amethyst/prasiolite oval/checkerboard cut amethyst. I think my sole reason for buying this one was to see what 18 carats felt like in my hand! This one is a light yellowish green and is very clean. A fun stone to put in a ring or pendant for sure, or in my case just something to look at. The checkerboard cut is rounded at the top and has a high crown so the pattern is visible.

For your consideration a 4.60 46.95 ctw strand of top quality sleeping beautify turquoise. These were purchased from Carolyn Ehret (of course) and were intended for a project that never came to be (of course). They are a beautiful Robin's egg blue and have a few natural imperfections in them but otherwise are pretty clean and first Carolyn rated theses AAAAA. Please email me any questions you may have as all sales are final. Shipping is included and I accept PayPal from confirmed addresses only. Thanks for looking!

Another of my "honker" gemstones, a 12.35 oval checkerboard cut amethyst. It's a nice medium purple and yes it's a honker. I was going to use this one as a index finger ring for my mom but she decided to go with a green beryl instead. This origin on this one is Africa and it's a very clean VVS clarity stone. Definitely a statement stone. Great for a pendant or a knuckle cover ring! Please email me any questions you may have as all sales are final. I accept PayPal from confirmed address and shipping is included. Thank you for taking the time to look at my listings!

Another awesome buy from Carolyn Ehert that has been sitting in a drawer for a few years now. These are a pair of lapis beads that are carved in a swirl pattern. I have a pair of angel skin coral ones that I will be putting up later on. These are are top quality lapis and the beads themselves have zero cracks and have top notch cutting. They are lapis denim blue with a few gold flecks. They are both drilled all the way through and would make a wonderful project (I was going to string them on a leather cord bracelet). Please email me any questions you have as all sales are final. Shipping is included in the price and I accept PayPal from confirmed addresses only. Thanks for looking!

The third of my 4 single turquoise gemstones. This one is a round cut and is around 12mm. The blue is Robin's Egg but a shade lighter then the oval stones I have listed. I would say it's closer to a Tiffany blue in color. It's round but a little bit pointed or bulleted at the top similar to a sugarloaf cut stone. It's a solid piece and untreated and is not crushed or a reconstituted stone. I love the contrast of sparkly white diamonds with the vivid blue of the turquoise. These are what I call my happy gemstones, the ones that make you think of spring or summer and the color is so bright and pretty it puts you in a good mood!

Opals fascinate me. They didn't until I discovered the ones that weren't doublets or triplets or weren't completely opaque. This one is a 1.09 Ethopian Jelly Opal in a oval shape. It's a solid stone meaning that it's not glued together to make a single stone. The color play reminds me of a Arizona sunset or a sundevil. There are oranges, reds, greens, yellows and purples. A bit like diochroic glass on steroids! Please email me any questions as all sales are final. I accept PayPal from confirmed addresses only. None of my prices are firm or set in stone so don't be afraid to make me an offer! Thank you for looking!!

Another stone that is seemingly impossible to photograph. ALEXANDRITE! This one is is on the petite side, it's a .47 carats and oval shape. The clarity is a very clean VVS and it has not been treated. The green is a light forest green (not dark at all) and the coloshift orange is on they yellowy orange side. I had it as more of a collectors stone but it can be set into jewelry. Please email me any questions you may have as all sales are final. I accept PayPal from confirmed addresses only. Thank you so much for looking at my listings!

For your consideration, a lot of 5 undyed precious red coral cabochon stones. 4 ovals and a small round. These were old stock from a retiring jeweler who I also bought a shimmery strawberry quartz from that I will list soon. These would be great as a earring or pendant project. They are the classic coral red with a hint of orange in them. A beautiful set of genuine not "bamboo" coral, but the real deal! Email me any questions you may have as this is a final sale.
