Rare Katlang Pink Topaz 9.23ct precision cut by the award-winning Jeff White in classic emerald cut!
--
Very clean and practically flawless according to Jeff. Definitely no brown on orange, and very sparkly in real life!
Dimensions are L 14.22 x W 8.58 mm.
--
It has never been set, and I have the original invoice and Jeff's Gemstone Report, the latter will be included as part of the sale.
--
The first photo is the finished stone which can still be seen on his website as an album photo: Galleries > Sold Gemstones > Other Gemstones.
--
The second photo is a photo of the roughs as seen in his FB feeds, and I asked him to select one of the larger piece from the left hand pile with no brown or orange.
--
The third photo was a still shot from the video he sent me of the finished stone next to a lab Emerald that he had cut for me. Sorry, however, I cannot find the link to the video anymore!

According to Jeff, the award-winning lapidary artist, this was by far the largest Aquamarine he had ever cut from this rare locale in the USA.
He found the rough during his 2022 Tucson trip, and it could be seen in his photo of roughs he purchased during this trip surrounding his ATGA pass in the top right hand corner (the largest rough closest to the badge clip).
Despite some inclusions, which were expected, this stone also finished out cleaner than he had anticipated.
--
The first photo is a screenshot of the video he made for this stone.
The second photo is the roughs he picked up during his 2022 Tucson trip, and my Aquamarine rough is the largest one closest to the badge clip.
--
Jeff has made a video of the finished stone which can be found via this link. It was shot outside, slightly influenced by the sky overhead. However, when the stone is rocked back towards the left, one should be able to see the lighter icy blue that is more indicative of the true body colour of the stone as mentioned in Jeff's e-mail to me.

Large oval green Tourmaline cut by the award-winning Jeff White.
According to his e-mail to me about this stone, it is the one that had the blue-green A/B axis and the green C axis, and the decision was to cut an oval on the C axis (favouring the green).
The resulting stone is a lovely rich green with some blue highlights at certain angles.
For the cut, he selected one of my most complex ovals - a Portuguese-esque design that really shows off the sparkle on larger pieces like this.
The finished gem dimensions are 11.69 x 8.83mm., so at the very top of the expected size range for this rough.

According to Jeff White, the award-winning lapidary artist whom I have worked with for nearly 10 years, this stone turned out absolutely gorgeous and super clean. A very nice green without any yellow secondary.
Cut in a brilliant oval that really shows off the RI. It finished out at 1.68 ct. and measures 8.02 x 6.11mm, so well within the expected yield range.

Please note that the video was shot under natural light, and there was a blue sky overhead, which makes this gem looks almost blue-green. In reality it is solidly mint-green.

A small yet mighty stone cut by the award-winning Jeff White.
The material was old stock and from Lake Baringo, however, it is a very vivid pink Sapphire and is still visible in Jeff's Sold Gemstones as a pink Sapphire.
Only 0.60ct measuring 4.70 x 4.70mm, however, the colour makes up for the small size for certain!
--
The first photo is the glamour shot of the finished stone he sent to me via e-mail.
The second photo is a photo of the rough on the dop before cutting.
The third photo is Jeff's glamour shot of the finished stone on his website on 06 June 2024.
