		Brazil Morganite   Great coloured Morganite from Brazil with some not too prominent internals. Faceted in a slightly elongated version of the "Lighthouse of Porporela" design with some more contrasts and lots of life. 3.02 cts., 10.8 x 8.2 x 7.0 mm available

		Umba Garnet   Perfectly clean and nice warm red Rhodolite from Tanzanias Umba-Valley. This pentgon brilliant is based on L. Reimschuessels "LR Brillant" and due to its odd symmetry it's so lively. 2.0 cts., 7.4 x  5.3 mm available

		Brazil london-blue Topaz   Dark greenish blue (london-blue, treated!) Topaz from Brazil. Faceted in the long-version of the Glacial Ice theme with superb reflections showing a stunning pattern. Very close to eye clean clarity and very even saturation. 3.89 cts., 10.9 x 8.0 x  6.8 mm sold

		Kerman Demantoid   From Kerman Demantoids at least two reaches sizes above 1 cts. what really challenging with these small crystals. For this one I preferred the "Tudor's Kaleidoskop" that is always great also for gems with intense internal life. The colour is due to the size and the origin a bit darker but still an explicite demantoid-green. 1.25 cts., 5.9 x 4.9 mm available

		Malawi Rhodolite   During the last weeks I have played a bit with the "Lighthouse of Porporela"-design and some new shape came out that way. This is the elongated version with additional barion facets and spectacular reflexctions.This gem is near flawless and just stunning. 7.98 cts., 16.0 x 8.3 x  8.6 mm available

		Erongo Demantoid   This one was a hard fight. The rough was a big piece with 2.5 gram and only one half had a better clarity. The result still has many internals, but hey this is a Demantoid with over one carat! WIsh I would have more roughs even with this inclusions. The "Lighthouse of Porporela" with extra steep angles gave an extra portion of colour and dispersive flashes. 1.22 cts., 6.7 x 5.6 x 4.8 mm available

		Ceylon Sapphire   Is it worth to recut a boring 3.08 cts. Ceylon Sapphire to a vibrant 0.93 cts. gem, to accept a loss of around 70%? I say YES, definitely, while I wish I had the original rough to facet and avoid so a lot of loss. The first pic shows the weak and silky appearance of the flat gem  (around 8.5 x 5,3 mm). In the second pic the silk is still existent but sue to a lot of sparkles and a more saturated colour there is much higher brilliance. VSI clarity with several tiny internals and only a decent amount of silk. 0.93 cts., 5.6 x 4.9 mm sold

		Ampanihy Pastel Pyrope   It was not easy to find, to catch (and to pay!) this outstanding gem. A rough marble with a diameter of around 17 mm weighing 10.4 gram and was catching my eyes. It had the perfect shape for my "nearly round trillion" and here is the result: high saturated magenta colour, vvs clarity and an astinishing size for a Pyrope Garnet. 18.54 cts., cts. 14.7 x 12.7 mm available

		Kerman Demantoid   An octagon shaped students gem that shows how the colour lightens up in the smaller Demantoids. A stepcut design with a peak instead the table. 0.72 cts., 4.9 x 4.3 mm available

		Habachtal Smoky Quartz   This design is the newest and 5th member of the million-times copied Trinity series and got the name "Trinity Trilliant". WHat do you guess how long it takes until we see the first copy? ... Flawless clarity, extraordinary polishing just the best faceting & polishing quality and the first of its kind from a well known european origin (Prehnitinsel, Habachtal at around  7500 feet). 3.15 cts., 9.4 x 8.3 mm available

		Mocambique Hessonite   Reddish-orange Hessonite from Mocambique with all typical internals of the multicrystalline Grossulare-variety. 2.44 cts., 9.1 x 5.7 mm available

		Arusha Tanzanite   When you close your eyes and think about Tanzanites you surely see pruplish blue or violettish blue gems? When you see this gem you surely don´t think about Tanzanites. Anyway the tanzanion Zoisite is the ultimate chameleon in the mineral world. Here you can see some "savannah"-aspects mean yellowish and violett to golden hues as well as greyish and greenish colours. It is an unheated gems with its full trichroitic potencial and every little turn shows other hues. It´s just a chameleon! 2.96 cts., 8.6 x 7.1 mm available

		Val Val Smoky Quartz   After years it was time for y new NEO. It´s often hard to find a rough with a good shape for special designs like this one. The rough is from Switzerland, Surselva or more specifically from Val Val. Except on some fingerprint internals at 6 o'clock it´s completely clean. If you have very sharp eyes you might notice it. 7.63 cts., 15.4 x 8.6 x 12.3 mm available

		Arusha Tanzanite   Supersoft coloured Tanzanite. Nearly white with a little violett to pink. The "Flandriant-design works well in this little gem and makes an intense spakle. Some small and really hard to detect internals (no foreign stuff). 0.80 cts., 5.3 x 5.3 x 4.1 mm available
