Totally untreated with beautiful tube inclusions throughout.

Breathtaking blue .75ct Madagascar sapphire
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.
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.

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.
