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.
3.68ct Pink Diaspore from Afghanistan
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.
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.
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.
Pink/purple diaspore 2.86ct
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.
Tiny Swat Valley Pakistan emerald, 0.27ct
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. The price of this one is only $120. If you've never worked with emerald before because of the high price tag on Columbian emeralds, now you can.
Tourmaline “paint palate” earrings in sterling silver
These "paint palate" tourmaline earrings probably get the most attention when I'm at a show.
Each one has five gorgeous pieces of tourmaline in shades of blue, pink, green, and yellow. Total ctw is about 10 in each pair. Solid sterling 2mm thick.
I have a few in this series available, but each is different, so look through and see what's available and which pair speaks to you.
