New Lower Price: $.50/carat
Sold
in 3-piece parcels
This rare material comes from Araçuaí in Minas Gerais, Brazil. It cuts much
like feldspar or quartz and is a must for every collector. For more information
about cutting petalite and its properties, check out our
petalite info page. May contain a few small typical cleavages that will
cut out in the faceting process. Otherwise, these stones are flawless.
Sapphire
from Thailand
Top color! This material may have some color
zoning, but the color will mix well in a cut stone. Sapphire grows in thin crystals,
so best yield is obtained with shallow pavilion and crown angles.
The price categories reflect quality of yield, not of the
material. The $17.50/carat material will yield best if cut into two stones,
but will also cut one fine gem
Dark Green Cubic Zirconia Special Low Price: $.05/carat!
Dark Green
color
Best suited for smaller stones (less than 10mm)
This material is Grade "C" and contains fractures. Because it works best in smaller stones, with a little trimming this material it's a super deal.
