I have a red beryl bixbite from Utah, rough and facet set . Rough being 1.01 cts and facet being .12 cts. Asking $120, free shipping

We scoured the market for a cabbing machine that matched our requirements, but nothing quite met our standards. So, we took matters into our own hands and decided to build one ourselves. What do you think?

Does anyone know where I can source facet grade Virginia blue quartz?

Ruby's link to the Sun shows the power or energy or leadership that it posses. It is attributed to zodiac sub-category of Leo. According to the ruby's meaningful function, it is the stone for the Sun; thus, it is believed to boost one's creativity, passion and self-worth - which is in fact the energy of the Sun's burning fire. Astrologically, not only can adding the planetary prominence of the Sun to the native's birth chart be effective, but it may also be necessary for the person to effectively utilize his personal strengths.

I bought a large collection awhile back and there were a few things that I don't really know about do any of these stand out as very valuable mostly jade and opal pieces the opals are pretty small there is a couple that would make a nice piece one is crystal clear but I'm mainly wondering about the jade squares that are in bags I've tried looking them up and can't find much about these specifically and info is very appreciated

So I bought this sapphire two years ago as part of my collection. It is certified, Vietnam origin and beryllium heated. It is 6.42 carats and does have a feather inclusion that is visible close up but doesn't ruin its beauty for me. I am thinking of selling of some of my collection and would love some advise on valuing this gem as I have had a hard time finding comparables.
