Sparkle sparkle Tanzanite

Love these earrings from @utopian_creations. Love when it's kept simple and the true beauty of Australian Sapphires is able to shine through. ❤

Buckets and buckets of rough black Opal from Lightning Ridge, NSW 😍

Repost from @gemologygeek GemGeekOut: Carved Paraíba Gems . Well I thought I have seen it all... but I can say with 100% honesty by now that there are still thousands of gems I’ve yet to see. . Though I have witnessed some true wonders over the years. . These little gem marvels may not look like much, but they are something that few cutters would attempt today. These are natural hand carved Brazilian Paraíba Tourmalines. . They were cut over 20 years ago before the price of Paraíba skyrocketed and became one of the most valuable gemstones per carat in the world today. . In 1988 a Gem Hunter by the name of Heitor Dimas Barbosa, a man who had spent years digging in the northeast region of Brazil known as Paraíba, found a neon bluish green Tourmaline that would end up shocking the jewelry industry. But it wouldn’t be for another 20 years before this stone gained popularity. . Mineral: Tourmaline Variety: Paraiba-Type Crystal Habit: Trigonal Mohs: 7.5 .

Happy Monday. I woke up to this email from a customer who created this beautiful ring from an Aquamarine she purchased from me. Swipe to see the original stone. 😍😍
