idaho star garnet sale Click!

This specimen is SOLD, but I do have others! The locality has been closed to hand digging due to concerns about the water quality of Emerald Creek. Small inclusion of rutile aligned with the garnet's crystallographic axes create the asterism if the garnet is carefully cut and polished in the correct orientation. These gemstones are from an old collection of cut Idaho garnets. The color and clarity of garnets in this collection is some of the best I have seen. Most star garnets from Idaho are opaque, dark and included. Don't miss this opportunity, I have a limited supply.  CONTACT me if your are interested in star garnets.

Australian ZIRCON (faceted)
zircon for sale
A remote area called the Mud Tank Zircon Field located on Alcoota Station, Northern Territory, in outback Australia has been known for its zircon material since 1940. The magnificent gem zircons discovered here are orange to amber to pale brown, some are even pink, purplish, colourless, yellow and part-coloured.

For sale is an incredible suite of 15 precision faceted zircons ranging in size from 0.8 ct to 7.1 ct and include all colors described below. A special 1.75 ct plum/purple stone with incredible saturation and considered the most sought after and rarest color from this locality is also part of the suite. Most of the stones contain light inclusions which are barely visible to the naked eye due to the overwhelming scintillation. This collection of professionally-faceted zircons is being offered for a very good price.

The sizes are as follows:
Row 1 (left, from top to bottom, in carats) - 0.8, 1, 1.15, 1.75 (plum/purple), 1.65 (yellow), 2.4 (light pink)
Row 2 (middle, from top to bottom, in carats) - 2.1, 2.6, 1.35, 1.95 (colorless), 1.8 (hexagon)
Row 3 (right, from top to bottom, in carats) - 5.2 (large square), 7.1 (large round), 4.05 (bellaxe design), 3.8
Total = 37.7 carats

Zircon is known to vary widely in intensity of its reaction to UV radiation. This is also the case for the Harts Range material. The final photo shows 6 stones exhibiting yellow under short wave UV light.

These stones were collected in the 1970's and faceted by Jaimy Henman of Gems Down Under in 2023. To see more of Jaimy's incredible faceted stones, please follow him on Instagram!
