    SPECTACULAR 5.44 CARAT VVS TOP FIRE RARE  ‘PEACH’ NATURAL RATANAKIRI CAMBODIAN ZIRCON. GEM TYPE: NATURAL ZIRCON CARAT WEIGHT: 5.44 CARATS DIMENSIONS: 9.80 x 8.20 x 6.30mm CLARITY: VVS  CUT: OVAL ORIGIN: BOR KEO, RATANAKIRI, CAMBODIA TREATMENTS: NONE Zircon is actually the oldest known mineral on Earth - the oldest samples are even older than the Moon, which formed about 4 billion years ago. Zircon was the first crystal to form in molten granite as it cooled to form rock. It formed as the result of a process associated with the presence of Uranium and Thorium. The natural radioactivity disrupts the crystal structure and produces the changes in color and density through a process known as metamictization.   Cambodia's north easternmost province is named after two of its distinctive features: Ratanakiri, a combination of the Khmer words for ‘gem’ (Ratana) and ‘mountain’ (Kiri).   Ratanakiri is one of the wildest and least visited regions in Cambodia. It is located in the north-east side of the country, bordering Laos and Vietnam. There one can find steaming jungles,  breathtaking waterfalls, amazing wildlife, and of course, the mines of the majestic Zircon.   The District of Bor Keo (Borkeo) where this specimen was mined is located about thirty kilometres from the regional capital Banlung. When people are asked about Cambodia, two things come to mind: Angkor Wat and the Khmer Rouge. With awareness and careful management of its resources, hopefully we can add Cambodia’s natural beauty to that list. The fire in Zircon, called dispersion, is caused by light entering the gemstone and separating into a prism of rainbow colors. Possessing dispersion approaching that of Diamond, the brilliance of Zircon is second to none. The Zircon Cut, a variation of the Brilliant Cut that adds eight extra facets to the pavilion, was designed to take advantage of these properties. A very unique characteristic of Zircon is birefringence (doubly refractive), meaning that light splits into two rays as it passes through the gem. As a result, the back facets appear as double images.

     Reference Point EXTREMELY RARE 3.32 CARAT VVS CUSTOM CUT YELLOW OCHRE OREGON SUNSTONE EARTH MINED AT DUST DEVIL MINE, LAKE COUNTY, OREGON       CARAT WEIGHT: 3.32 CARATS CLARITY: VVS DIMENSIONS: 11.35 x 7.10 x 5.55mm COLOUR: YELLOW OCHRE (NOT SO ORANGEY AS THE IMAGE PORTRAYS - IT'S A TRUE 'YELLOW OCHRE') CUT: CUSTOM CUT ORIGIN: OREGON, USA  TREATMENTS: NONE   Oregon sunstone, also known as Heliolite, is a transparent feldspar with colours ranging from water clear through pale yellow, soft pink, and deep reds. The colour appears to vary systematically with small amounts of copper and may depend on both the amount and the size of individual copper particles present in the stone. In the rugged high desert of South Central Oregon, embedded in ancient volcanic lava under the sage brush and grass, lies the fabled Oregon Sunstone.     The Rabbit Basin lies three hours south of Burns, through a desolately beautiful landscape of alkaline lakes, sand dunes, and volcanic ridges. Alt and Hynd­man (1978) provide a brief summary of the roadside geology. At Hogback Road, the paved surface ends and 35 miles of gravel road begins, leading eventually to the Dust Devil Mine in Lake County, Oregon. Oregon sunstone, the official state gemstone of Oregon since 1987, is natural copper-bearing labradorite feldspar. Some examples exhibit red to green dichroism, and fine specimens larger than 3 Carats can sell for more than $1,500 per carat.   

  EXTREMELY RARE 3.61 CARAT VVS AAA GREEN CONGO TOURMALINE Kamituga-Mobale Mine, Bukavu, Kivu, DRC (Congo) CARAT WEIGHT: 3.61 CARATS CLARITY: VVS DIMENSIONS: 9.50 x 9.00 x 6.40mm COLOUR: AAA GREEN (AS IMAGE) CUT: FAT PEAR ORIGIN: DRC (CONGO)  TREATMENTS: 100% NATURAL & TOTALLY UNTREATED   This astonishingly beautiful Tourmaline is a literal 'tour de force' in every respect. The colour is sublime, and the cut magnificent. A Tourmaline of enormous presence with superb proportions. I am awed by it.   he name Tourmaline comes from the Singhalese words 'tura mali'. In translation, this means something like 'stone with mixed colours', referring to the colour spectrum of this gemstone, which outdoes that of all other precious stones. There are Tourmalines from red to green and from blue to yellow. They often have two or   more colours. There are Tourmalines which change their colour when the light changes from daylight to artificial light, and some show the light effect of a cat's eye. No two Tourmalines are exactly alike. This gemstone has an endless number of faces, and for that reason it suits all moods. No wonder that magical powers have been attributed to it since ancient times. In particular, it is the gemstone of love and of friendship, and is said to render them firm and long-lasting.    

  Reference Point ASTONISHINGLY BEAUTIFUL AND RARE COLOUR (PURPLE PINK) PAIR OF UMBA RIVER RHODOLITE GARNETS  2.98  CARATS VVS   GEM TYPE: RHODOLITE GARNET CARAT WEIGHT: 2.98 CARATS (COMBINED) DIMENSIONS: 7.00 x 7.00 x 4.00mm CLARITY: VVS COLOUR: PURPLE PINK CUT: ROUND CUT TREATMENTS: NONE   The Umba River area of Tanzania has produced some of the most extraordinary gemstones ever found. The Umba River is nestled in a valley in the Llelatema Mountains of the Arusha region, which of course is famous for Tanzanite.   First discovered in 1978, the Umba River Garnet is the Rolls Royce of the wonderful Garnet family.     A stunning pair in every respect, with fabulous colour and fire.

    UNIQUELY BEAUTIFUL MASTER PRECISION CUT 6.84 CARAT VVS SAGE GREEN VERMARINE/PRASIOLITE   CARAT WEIGHT:  6.84 CARATS CLARITY: VVS DIMENSIONS: 15.80 x 10.50 x 7.30mm CUT: MASTER PRECISION CUT TCOLOUR: SAGE GREEN ORIGIN: BRAZIL TREATMENTS: ROUTINELY HEATED AND IRRADIATED   These gorgeous subtle sage green gemstones were precision custom cut for HPJ by a Master Cutter based in Akron, Ohio, USA. We have worked with this Cutter for many years now, and his work is sheer artistry. Prasiolite, Green-Quartz, or Vermarine, is a green form of Quartz, a silicate mineral chemically silicon dioxide. Prasiolite is one of several Quartz varieties, which of course include the Amethyst. Personally I prefer the name ‘Vermarine’ which I think fits this extraordinary gem just perfectly. This new Brazilian Quartz has become the most popular member of the extensive gem family since dusty blue Chalcedony took the fashion world by storm some years back. As this newcomer has become a market sensation, dealers and designers have sought to capitalize on its family ties by naming it ‘Green Amethyst’ Whatever the new Quartz is called, clearly this sage-green gem has arrived. Already big-name designers like David Yurman and John Atencio are making much ado about this gem, whose whispery hues conjure the pale salad-greens of cucumber wedges and hearts of palm. What can be said with absolute certainty, is whether you call it Prasiolite, Vermarine, or Green Amethyst, it is an extremely beautiful gemstone.
