Breathtaking blue .75ct Madagascar sapphire
$355.00
This is a breathtakingly blue untreated Madagascar sapphire. The color is just spectacular. With a little bit of silk, a little bit of color zoning but overall a majestic royal blue that just shouts, “Look at me!”
Madagascar sapphires are renowned for their color. This one came from a stone that had just a hint of yellow mixed with this amazing blue. The results are stunning, and as an unheated stone, this color is as close to the perfect sapphire blue you’re going to get.
This is the perfect stone for a ring or pendant and is large enough to be a center stone or could work being set with other stones as an accent.
The weight is .75ct, and it measures 6mmx5mm. Cut in a nice juicy pear shape.

14×10 Holley Blue Agate Cabochons
These cabs are aprox 14x10mm (but slight variations because they are handmade). Though some weigh as much as 7ct and some as little as 4.5, the average weight is 5.5ct each.
Some have a higher dome or more distinctive color or banding, etc.
If you're not familiar with Holley Blue, it was found near Sweethome OR in the past, but the collection site has been closed for about 35 years. If you've got Holley Blue now, it's extremely rare and getting rarer every day.
Holley Blue Agate tablet pair
Do you love a soft lavender color? Have you heard of Holley Blue Agate?
This chalcedony only comes from one place in the world, and that's the hillsides of Holley Oregon near Sweethome.
The problem is that about 30 years ago, all access to this material was closed off by the property owner, making it nearly impossible to get any.
This agate, while called Holley Blue, generally is a purple/lavender color with peach tints in the right lighting. These two pieces are matched in size and shape and have only the slightest variations in color. This is some of the best material of this type you'll find.
This pair, cut into a diamond shaped tablet with irregular angles, would make a stunning set of earrings or would look fabulous on a brooch or pendant.
Incredible 5.6ct pink/purple diaspore
Have you heard of pink diaspore?
While most are familiar with Turkish diaspore, the green/brown variety of the gemstone sold under the trade name "Zultanite" few are aware of this new variety found in Afghanistan.
Pink diaspore is a rare and remarkable gemstone known for its captivating pink hues, ranging from soft blush to vibrant fuchsia. This gemstone exhibits a mesmerizing color-changing phenomenon, displaying different shades depending on the lighting conditions. It transitions from a delicate pink in natural daylight to a warm mauve or champagne tone under incandescent lighting, making it truly unique and versatile.
It was discovered in 2020 and wasn't available until after the pandemic opened things back up. This rare and beautiful stone is for those who want to be adventurous and the first to have the latest new trends.
I have only a few pieces of this rare gem available. Cut in a bar pattern that accentuates the color shifting; you can see it go from lavender to pink in the twinkle of an eye.
Stone weighs 5.6ct and measures 10.4x8.2mm and is 6mm deep. I've seen pink diaspore retailing for over $1000/ct, but my wholesale price is far less.
Pink diaspore from Afghanistan 1.26ct
This pink diaspore from Afghanistan has such a captivating color. There's a slight change in incandescent or low light compared to bright white light where it will turn more pink or more lavender.
This material was first brought to market in 2020, so it's very new. The little inclusions just add to the unique look of this stone. It's about a 6.5-7 on mohs scale.
How would you set this long, slender gem? The stone measures 13.5x3.4mm. Weight is 1.26ct.

Do you like rare gemstones?
Have you heard of Pink Diaspore?
This lavender to pink diaspore was first discovered in the Nangarhar province of Afghanistan in 2019 and started making its way to dealers in Peshawar Pakistan in 2020. Since we were in the middle of a worldwide pandemic at the time, this stone did not garner much attention, however one of my brokers in Pakistan got me some rough and I found it to be very interesting.
There are small tubular inclusions in the stone, which can be seen under magnification. These add some great light refraction. The color goes from almost a hot pink at some angles to a soft lavender color. The hardness is 6.5-7 and can be worn as a pendant, brooch, or with care as a ring.
This stone weighs 2.86ct and measures 9.6x5.9mm. Priced at a reasonable $300/ct, the total price for this stone is $858. Most dealers are now charging over $400/ct for this material.
Rare Pink Diaspore from Afghanistan. 2.17ct
Lovely and surprising pink diaspore from Afghanistan.
This relatively new gemstone is physically the same material as the Turkish diaspore, trade named Zultanite but look at this color! In low light it's a mauve or purple, but in bright sunlight is bright pink. This deposit was discovered in 2020 and appears to be very limited. Totally untreated with beautiful tube inclusions throughout.
This particular stone is beautifully cut and weighs 2.17ct and measures 10.6x5.6mm. This stone would be ideal in a ring or a pendant.
