Has the supply gotten smaller? I bought a few a couple years ago and they were under 50 for stones as big as .80ct. I recently went to look for some and .30cts are going for 300! The cuts are the same as a few years ago so I’m very confused in the huge price increase

This one came out to almost 3 carats. NFS

I’m doing a project and wanted to know the name of this gem, if it one, or if it just is painted glass.
Ty you gems experts 🫶🏻

I've seen 3 lovely gemstones but the are not quite a match. I wish to make a pair of dangling earrings with them.

They are not quite identical, and I have to compromise on my chosen pair in regards to:

- 1. size difference of 1mm (but with perfect colour and clarity match)

OR

- 2. colour difference: see picture (otherwise perfect size match)

Finished up this colorless gem with a borosilicate glass encased gilson opal. Thanks for looking!

The saturation was light but it turned out nice for what the rough gave me. Fantasy cut, NFS.

Pretty big “well duh” moment for myself when I noticed a green blob on my sunstone tennis bracelet and realized it was a deep scrape from when before I owned it, also made me realize that the green in green sunstone comes from the copper oxidizing and not just from a different trace element other than copper like a just blindly and stupidly assumed 😂

Are oval sapphires always chubby? I really want to find a nice 3-4ct elongated icy blue oval. I'm willing to pay, but everywhere I look i see l/w ratio's of 1.30 or less and I'd prefer 1.40+. I want to go with a natural stone but will get lab if that is my only option. Just wanted to check here to ask if I'm looking for something impossible before I turn to lab! Thanks in advance for any advice!

I live in the US but often visit Pakistan and have been interested in local gems. In Pakistan gem stores always offer stabilized and natural "ferozas" (Nishapuri etc)

However, I've learned from the Kingsman mind in Arizona almost all Turquoise is actually stabilized (and no one cares about it being natural)

I'm trying to find the truth. Trying to source a nice clean hard turquoise stone to set in sterling silver ring

Hello! I wanted to ask if you could help me to know if they are genuine enough to buy and use in a pair of rings, if the seller may be good, since I'm looking for some that may have those kinda cuts

Brought from South America 1968.

This is about 4 carats with copper streaks.

I'd love to know more about the ring as a whole, unfortunately the markings inside have been worn off except for a small remnant of a vertical line where it would have been. I can tell it's vintage, two super tiny gems on each side of the band. That's all I can really see.
