Hey Barbara, no Asscher this time. A classic outline with some minor tune up work.
Image
Zircon from Tanzania last January. Has yet to be heated.
7.63ct - 14.6 x 9.15 x 5.95mm
Overheads are just regular fluorescent style. But, facing, there are two OttLites covered by paper towel to diffuse the light a little.

I found a pure red spinel rough in a Tanzanian parcel that I purchased in Tucson this past February. I enjoyed it for a few days, but it sold in record time tonight. And no, I don't have any more like it (wish I did)!

This is a real stunner for those into the more exotic gemstones.

7.27ct Sphene / Titanite
10.0 x 13.3mm Barion Cushion

Madagascan in origin, the dispersion in sunlight is simply staggering, it features big long flashes of red and blue.

Nice Spinel Gary! And that Sphene would look great in my arsenal too! Well done Lawrence.

Here's a recut I performed recently. It's a Sapphire from Sri Lanka acquired some time ago.
Finalized at 1.21ct
6.90 x 4.95 x 3.65mm
I'm sure heat having been first worked in Sri Lanka in 2001 or 2002. But I don't believe they were messing with beryllium back then in Colombo.
