1.92ct Oregon Fire Opal Pear

What do you love about Pink diaspore? I love that it's a relatively unheard of stone. While it might look similar to stones like Amythist, purple sapphire, spinel or perhaps even morganite, it is the little inclusions that run through the stone, giving each its own unique fingerprint. The stone also exhibits color change like its Turkish cousin Zultanite. Where Zultanite changes from brown to green, this has a subtle lavender to pink change in bright sunlight. It was first brought to market in Peshawar Pakistan after being discovered in neighboring Afghanistan. The miners and people who literally risk their lives to bring a few handfuls of this material across the border into Pakistan are the true heroes here. One handful of stones can feed a family for a year. This particular stone measures 10.8x6.9mm and weighs 3.68ct. It's a good size for either a ring or a pendant.

November birthstone is Topaz, and I have a gorgeous one for you. This 20.1ct imperial topaz with peach and gold coloration is from the Katalang mine in Pakistan.

Here's a very pretty little brilliant green emerald from Swat Valley Pakistan. The color is incredible, and though it's small, still stand out on l in the right piece. Maybe you'll use it in a dainty ring, or perhaps as a septum ring or other body jewelry. It would also go well paired with other gems for contrast such as an Amythist or morganite. Maybe you'll set it in 18k yellow gold, or white gold or platinum. This stone measures 4.6x3.2mm and weighs .27ct. Swat emerald is very affordable compared to other precious stones.
