Black Opals - are mined
almost exclusively in Lightening Ridge, Australia. No other stone displays such a
broad range of color as Black Opal. Within a single stone, combinations of blue,
green, lavender, red, orange and yellow fire can be found. The gray to black
background of Black Opals makes for an intensification of all these colors.  The combination of incomparable beauty and extreme rarity puts
Black Opal in a category of its own. We feel privileged to offer our customers a
broad range of sizes, shapes, and colors at great prices. |
Paraiba Tourmalines - are best described as neon, blue-green gemstones. The
combination of chromium, copper and gold, within these extremely rare gemstones, yields
wonderful hues of blue and green. In a league of their own, Paraiba tourmalines
possess a brightness found in no other colored stone.

Tsavorite
- was first discovered in the late 1960's in the Tsavo National Park, which is
located in southeast Kenya, near the Tanzania border.The combination of vanadium and
chromium is responsible for the green in Tsavorite. With a higher refractive index
than emerald, and no known treatments, Tsavorite is quickly becoming the choice green
among gem dealers. However, clean stones in sizes over 1 carat are exceedingly rare.
With direct access to a Tsavorite mine in Kenya, we offer a broad range of Tsavorite
(including fancy shapes) at wholesale prices. |
