These were two stones I cut a while 1+ years ago..right one is spess garnet and left one is tourmaline. They were not cut as matching pairs but both turned out roughly same size and had same SRB cut. Camera wasn't angled properly so those dark areas in the middle are only tilt windows. Small like 1/2ct each. this pakistan moonstone I may have posted before but it was a pic in hand and not a setup shot..cut it a long time ago 3+cts. Here is a ampa tourmaline(dravite) from India that gsellis cut a while back. Brown is not the best color but what do you expect from non-chromium bearing dravites ;D. These have the widest range of colors I have seen from a deposit oif dravite tourmalines. Very odd to have such a cornucopia of hues in dravite. These range from green, brown, cognac, yellow, red, and orange but always with brown as primary or secondary. Some of the other ampas that you can see cut are under Ricks "New Camera" thread. In this one you can see in the last picture(out of focus) the fairly strong green when it's tilted down the opposite axis(pleo.) Look how strong the green shows with the pleochroic property All photos taken under 6500K bulb with top spess and tourm. taken under 6500K with filtered use of 4700K as well(adds warmth). Pics have not been altered in any way save for cleaning up dust spots on surface the stones are sitting on.

They may be brown, but they're an incredible crystal colored brown at that! Nice! T.

Hi I’m new in the kimberlite market on eBay only heard they of kimberlite and it’s rare ability to hold diamonds from within the earth about a month ago. I have since realized that I have rocks of those nature in my collection. Once jokingly placing a crystal in the palm of my girlfriends hand and laughing saying here’s a diamond it’s your best friend and I tossed it on the ground it was a nice sized one. Now I find out it’s not a joke at all and I have diamonds. Funny thing is out of all the treasure hunting I do the rock hound areas I’ve been visiting there are two kimberlite clay pipes and licks me they both contain diamonds. One being known for rock hounding in California and the other being a secret of mine in AZ is loaded with diamonds.
on eBay I have a discounted deeply the items of kimberlite and Kimberlite clay from the top of the pipe it shot out of and all with diamonds so please today the 26th of March is the last day I’ll be discounting the rare and expensive kimberlite products up to 4400%-1900- market value so if it’s not to much of a hassle to mention it to your family friends and rock hounding partners to glance at my eBay page I’m the only low price on there I’m in a crisis of needing a probate wills and trusts lawyer ASAP and can use some support by fellow hounding members and treasure hunters.
i have diamonds many many many diamonds and even huge rough uncut white diamonds heavy ones up to 347ct multiples of them I found in a pocket and I need a price on them and if any one can do so I’ll part with one for future services in advanced payment like deal I have tons of kimberlite for sale and auction I sell out faster than I can post. I need the masses to see them I have over 7-12 types all barring diamonds from black to white clear to yellow to orange to grey to milky to red to green all of the above iv found in this kimberlite clay and kimberlite rocks I’m looking to trade for a rock crusher I’d like to get one ASAP.
