Ok I just want to give you all a heads up on some items that have been added in the past couple of days. Some of the items are in limited quantities or are one of a kinds so you might want to check them out before they disappear!
First off we have some great double drilled items. The nice thing with the double drilled items is that the beautiful stones and cut really simplify your designing job. Really if you just add some little spacers and a clasp these pieces looks amazing. It looks like you have slaved over them! We have them in Prehnite, Kunzite, Sunstone. I believe the Kyanite and Aquamarine have sold out. We will add more hopefully next week.
So now for those of you not familiar with these stones let me a tell you a little about them. The Prehnite is true to color in the photo. It is a very different green, almost limey with a matte finish. The stones have somewhat of a textured matte surface. It kind of reminds me of a candy dusted in sugar, hard to explain like a lozenger maybe. You see it and it is hard to imagine that this is a real gemstone.
The Sunstone is not the typical Sunstone where the color is kind of orangish. This is called Red Sunstone, it is actually more of a pinkish colors. They have these sparkles in them that are completely natural. When you look at them or feel them you almost think they are going to come off on your hands. They have inclusions in some of the stones.
The Kunzite ones have a variety of pinkish, greenish, whiteish, purplish colors in them and the ends are more shard like. They also have natural inclusions. Very organic looking and really makes a statement.
All of these have a smooth back so it is not rough on the skin.
Ok enough already I know I know what else is there….Well there is a great strand of Hiddenite shards, it is a very different hard to explain green. Another one that reminds me of candy…Boy do I have a sweet tooth today! Then there are some crystal Quartz points. Now one of my customers made these great little ornaments for her tree, very clever and very cool. Next We have some pretty faceted Aquamarine cylinder/cube like cut. Really pretty. We also added some Paraiba Tourmaline Rough. I know the Paraibas are expensive but this is actually old material that we have had for quite a few years. We could not even buy this again anywhere near the price we are selling it at. They are not even finding it so it doesn’t matter. You just need to educate your customers that it is a special stone. There are also some more Labradoriteo one of a kind.
oh yes one more great stone I must talk about as it is unusual and most people have not seen it in these colors!
It is Ethiopian Fluorite!! It comes in these strange unusual colors that are hard to describe in words. Some are a bluish grey color, some with hints of purplish mauvish colors in. There are some that are kind of a rusty color, some more a burnt orange/rust. Like I said they are hard to describe and I feel like I am inventing color names to call them! Take a look at them and see for your self. The great thing about Fluorite is that it is light weight and so you can really make a nice big multi strand statement necklace that is not too heavy.
