Show Me Your RGB Gems

[voce]

Red, green and blue are the primary colors used by electronic displays. What do your red, blue and green gems look like? Please show me more gemmy eye candy!

My unheated Ceylon blue sapphire, medium green Muzo emeralds, and low heat Madagascan ruby

These are rough crystals rather than cut gems:

Red:

This is ruby in marble from an unknown location, but possibly Jegdalek, Afghanistan

Green:

This is an emerald crystal in matrix from the Panjshir Valley, Afghanistan

Blue:

These are sapphires and were bought >20 years ago, and labelled as being from Montana. This is wrong, and the evidence is pointing to old stock from the mines in Kashmir, India

 

[2Neesers]

My blue sapphires, a reddish garnet, and Tsavorite garnets

My Rubellite:



Rubies:





Mahenge Spinel:


A red Spinel with Tsavorite:



Green Toumaline next to my EC:



Green Tourmaline cab:



A tiny Emerald amongst Ruby cabs, an EB Topaz and an Amethyst:



Don't have any blues except EB and natural blue Topaz at the mo. A medium blue Sapphire to be cut by JW in his signature Asscher cut is on my bling bucket list.

These are gorgeous! What a nice find on the sapphires.

What's EB? I totally thought you had blue zircon!

These are gorgeous! What a nice find on the sapphires.

Thanks voce. The emerald was a bargain at $9.99, and the sapphires were only £12!

Oh heck yeah!

@voce EB as in Electric Blue.

I have blue Zircons, however I personally do not believe they fit in as blues in RBG gems as they are more turquoise to me.

Another blue:

It's spinel in matrix from the Hunza Valley, Pakistan. The camera has added a bit of a violet modifier that isn't there in real life.

That aqua is amazing, and the red spinel really something special.

Facet rough, but I just dropped off some stones to be cut. Looking forward to recreating the picture with the finished gems

Mahenge spinel, kornerupine, Merelani mini garnet

I just finished a project that makes me think RGB.

Have these all been cut by now? Can you show us the finished gems?

They have been! Happy to share.

Although the fate of the mahenge spinel still makes me sad

 

[Starstruck8]

Late to the party but... spinel, tsavorite, sapphire (strictly purple, but near enough to blue).
