Stone Binge....

1st up is a 1.17ct oval Ceylon Sapph, Measurements: 7.0 x 5.0 x 4.0 approx Clarity: VVS

Niiiiice!

My favorite - green tourmaline (best I''ve seen in a while - out of those privately owned), and sapphires are really interesting and unusual (they seem to have great cuts too).

Will you just enjoy them loose or you''ll get busy with having fun?

THANKS! I appreciate it. Most of these will be admired loose. I am just starting out so I am aquiring semi inexpensive stones. They may not all have the best cuts, But there are things I like about them all! These are only a few. I have a BUNCH more. Ill post more pics
