Step rhodolite. This is my favorite cut out of the bunch - it has steps like an asscher, but...longer, somehow.

 

[MonkeyPie]

Freke! Have you seen it? Is it awesome? When do they start casting?

 

[MonkeyPie]

Orange garnet. I love it, it looks like a pumpkin!

Orange again.

Tourmaline.

Green delicious!

Rose quartz. I love how it has a slight milky look to it, like moonstone. Not too visible on camera, though.

 

[MonkeyPie]

Spessartite. I got this teeny guy for free - if you look close on the lower edge you can see a fissure that runs from the surface to the center of the stone. But he''s fiery like no other!

I love how the Unknown Stone has a sort of "flower" in the middle - can you see it?
