This piece of eye candy is a great fun stone. Its ends are a dark redder peach and the inclusions don't impact the beauty of the gemstone. It weighs 1.14 carats.
The title of this post says a lot. With all of it, the bottom line is, it is a pity that I don’t have more peaches like this one. The darker c axis ends are redder than the middle. The flaws are so light that they don’t even bother an emerald cut, which is saying a lot. It is just a bright happy gem that is a pieces of eye candy to me. It weighs 1.14 carats.

About Bruce Fry
I was born in Summit, NJ in 1947 and graduated from Summit High School in 1966. I graduated from the Colorado School of Mines in 1970 and after spending another year in graduate school, I left to see the world of Brazil. After spending some more time discovering myself, I ended up working for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania for 32 years as an Air Quality Engineer in the Department of Environmental Protection. I retired in 2007 and took up faceting gemstones again after a long hiatus that reached back to my twenties. I had started cutting cabochons when I was 13 and bought my first faceting machine when I was 15, but ran out of money and time until I retired.
My great love in gemology is tourmaline and the collection presented here represents my effort to get as much beauty and variety in the colors of tourmaline as I can. I was particularly lucky in being able to get unheated cuprian tourmaline before copper was discovered in gem grade tourmaline from Mozambique.
