Fresh, hand-cut gems!!!
Here are four hand-cut gems cut by Doc at Doc's Rocks Gem Mine in Blowing Rock, N.C..
My partner & I found these stones; not in a mine, but in a stream (except for the Ethiopian Opal) and had them cut at the gem mine.
First photo is an Ethiopian Opal .90 ct. 6mm Cab Cut - North Carolina Emerald .65 ct. 7x5mm Oval Cut
Ethiopian Opal .90 ct. 6mm Cab Cut - Untreated
North Carolina Emerald .65 ct. 7x5mm Oval Cut - Untreated
North Carolina Ruby 1.10 ct. 7x5mm Oval Cut - Untreated
North Carolina Black Sapphire .95 ct. 7x5mm Oval Cut - Untreated
All of these gems are natural and untreated. The Black Sapphire is interesting! Black Sapphire is actually a very, very DEEP blue that appears black as night!
Thanks for looking!
