Tourmaline and Tanzanite

Three new stones tonight, and one that was cut for
a client.
I just got in a new parcel of Rubellite tourmaline, spessartite garnet, and few Nigerian Paraiba type tourmalines. So this little guy here looked like fun to cut, as I was in the mood for something quick to cut. Small stones normally cut pretty quickly.
This is just fantastic color, the stone looks like a deep ruby. Not real large, but very pretty.
Next was another Tourmaline from the parcel that stood out for it's rather odd color. So I figures that I might as well cut it now and get it out of the way.
Here's a Tanzanite from my trip last summer to Arusha. This one is cut in a round in a nice size for a ring. This was a natural blue stone.
This last stone is the last of the Asscher cut Aquamarines that I was able to cut all from one long pencil shaped crystal. The stone was from Mozambique Africa, and has very nice color. Wish I had more.
