Liddicoatite rose sliding to orange rose, oval.#282
This is one of the few tourmalines in the collection that I have had adequately tested, enough, to determine that is not Elbaite, but Liddicoatite. Liddicoatite and Elbaite are very closely related species in the group of minerals we call … Continue reading

Red Orange Round keeps on rolling
This is a beautiful gemstone without visible fault. I would hazard a guess of some kind of orange garnet, if I was pressed to guess, what this gemstone was without knowing. I like this standard round brilliant that weighs 2.32 … Continue reading
Larger Included Red Orange Oval#1089
This is a powerful stone . Its rich red orange flash swirls in the stone masking the moderate amount of inclusions. Time flashes by and I can not take my eyes off the color. It is not the saturated orange … Continue reading
