I have a couple pieces of synthetic material you might be interested in. They came with my faceting machine, I don't cut synthetics much, I would let them go for a good price if they work for you.

The unsplit boule is synthetic spinel, it is a champagne/ citrine color, probably lighter than what you're looking for. The other piece wasn't properly identified, but I believe that it is synthetic quartz. It has a different fracture pattern than glass, at any rate :P

Flameswithin is a citrine junkie! If breakeron doesn't want them, we could probably work out a swap, if my conscience will let me get away with feeding an addiction.

Whoa, I do like the unknown one. The color is very nice.

This definitely a big time sink, finding something specific is tough. Ive literally called Russia lol! I am waiting for a reply for the padparadscha rough (pulled method). Its pricey, but having something the wife will cherish is worth every hard earned penny.

But I do like the gem on the right, caught my eye fast.
