Gram Faceting: Special Facet / Faceting Rough

New Stuff Index

I have a lot of new material coming and going all of the time. It can sometimes be difficult to find all of the new material and products I am posting... So I thought an index where I list new rough and links to new rough and products that have been added to my website would be helpful to my customers.

African Rhodolite - $3.00 - On Sale for 2.00/ct
Locality: Tanzania

This material has been tumbled and it is pretty clean, there maybe aome typical Garnet silk or spots occasionally. Sizes are average over 6 carats rough and there is some very nice stones in these parcels.

I recommend this rough for anyone wanting to cut some quality Garnets at a nice price.

Apatite - $0.20/ct - Sale
Locality: Madagasscar

This material is pretty decent mine run, but remember it is MINE RUN. So expect flaws and having to clean it. There are clean stones in this material. There is nothing large, the average cut stone will be 1/2 carat or so. There are a few that will cut larger but not many. This is an old left over parcel and it is cheap. Here is a good chance to try faceting Apatite for not much cost...

Brazil Pink Tourmaline - $3/ct - Sale
Locality: Brazil

This material is pretty decent Tourmaline. The colors range a bit from pink to peach, mainly because there is some yellow/green rinds. The size ranges from about 3 carats to 5 carats maybe a hair larger... There are a lot of piecces in this parcel that will cut 1/2 to 1 carat.

I have clipped the material but there will be some spots and flaws to work around. But the price takes this into account. When is the last time you saw facetable pink Tourmaline at $3/carat?

Parcels Currently Available:
25 carats minium... $75.00 (I have about 450 carats available, that is it...)

Yellow Zircons - $3/ct - Sale
Locality: Africa

This material is nice, clean and limited in supply. The stones are all mostly a nice light yellow (occasionally a champange) in color and mostly over 4 carats in size. These have been clipped for color and flaws/waste and in many cases preformed. Most of these stones should cut around 1 carat. This is a deal guys...

Note: These are hand cleaned, but there maybe an occasional spot I missed. Also remember that Zircons weigh heavy so the stones may look a little smaller than you are used to than regular stones.

Parcels Currently Available:
18.30 carats @ $54.90 - 5 stones
21.57 carats @ $64.71 - 5 stones

Light/Medium Blue Zircons - $3/ct - Sale

Bulk Ametrine - $0.30/ct
Locality: Bolivia

This material is getting very difficult to get now a days. This is just some old material from old parcels and the pricing is all old too. This has been cobbed, but there are flaws and typical bubble lines to work around in this material. But at the price I am selling it for this material has some very nice cutting in it.

The colors tend to be light to medium/light in saturation and there are some pieces that will cut with both colors clean, there are quite a few pieces that would be what they call "blended" and there will some that will cut Amethyst or Citrine... I do not have a lot of this material so first come first serve.
