Check out this beautiful platinum, purple garnet, and pink sapphire ring by the talented Jacob Raymond Jewelry , featuring a 3.75 ct. purple garnet from JL White Fine Gemstones! The garnet was from Idaho, of all places! This is the most beautiful and open purple garnet I've ever had from Idaho. Video of the ring in the comments...

Enjoy this set of Mozambique copper-bearing tourmalines just completed for a special customer. 23.5 ct. total, across 5 stones! I love the colors of unheated cuprian tourmaline. How about you?

Gummy candy or gemstones? Did you know that in Tunduru, Tanzania, a colorful mixture of different garnet varieties can be found all together in the same riverbed deposits, tumbled and water-worn over millennia? Bright orange spessartites, yellow grossular garnets, hessonites, orangy-pink malaya, and rhodolite garnets (among other, more uncommon types). These beauties are often sold in parcels as-is, all mixed together. I just love the juxtaposition of colors! This parcel is destined to cut some amazing finished gems. Reach out to us if we can cut one for you!

Check out this amazing 3.79 ct. Burmese red spinel, cut by JL White Fine Gemstones! Also, see the comments for a bonus video showing the hidden world inside this beauty. Inclusions aren't necessarily the enemy! They can be very beautiful, and they can tell us a lot about the gem. I thought our followers might like to see what I see through the microscope!

Unheated Tanzanite lovers rejoice! Check out this 14.44 ct unheated Tanzanite, which is now all packed up and ready to go to its new home in Singapore. The customer opted to leave it as-is rather than have it heated. I think the colors are quite mesmerizing, don't you? Share this post with someone you think could use a little magic in their day.

Here is a rare opportunity: a finished gem available for direct purchase! As you may know, practically all of my gems are cut-to-order these days, making this an unusual opportunity. This gorgeous 2.14 ct. heated Montana sapphire measures 7.35 x 7.35 ct. and is a beautiful shade of greenish-blue (slightly more green than suggested by the photo). Clarity is excellent, with just one or two small feathers to speak of, and they are difficult if not impossible to see in normal viewing. Considering that this is a 2+ ct. top color Montana sapphire, you might be surprised by the price! I achieved a killer yield on the rough, which means I can sell at a lower price per ct. than would normally be possible. Please send us a message for pricing and/or to purchase. Full video of the stone is in the comments.

9.31 ct flawless Tanzanite, and 6.75 ct. (total weight) pair of peridot pears. These gems are from different orders, cut for different customers, but I thought the striking color combo was too good not to share! Full video of these in action is in the comments. Enjoy!
