A pretty 3 carat Rubyvale green sapphire in a barion square cushion, which is actually a green-yellow parti sapphire. However I was not able to orient it to show the yellow in the face up position as this would have required cutting away the majority of the good stone. Stone contains a couple of minor inclusions, not easily visible to the naked eye.

While the stone is essentially green in the normal viewing position, it does show a few yellow sparks down one side as it it turned.

Asking $600. Price is negotiable.
 
Be onto them but work wont pay for them. Havent done any OT for a while. :Y:
 
Cheers Bjay. At least cutting a stone isn't like baking a cake - they never go stale or anything :)

Now there's a thought - some of the stones I cut might actually outlast humanity.
 
I think every stone youve cut will outlast humanity. Theyve been in the ground for time we cant comprehend and will last the same out and cut. :Y:
