Being geologist myself, I had to look, what Tanzanite is
. Have you ever worked with tectites, like Moldavites (Vltavin)? Love them, even when it´s just a "glass". Especially in combination with red garnets, beautifull stuff....
Love harp. Easy to start with, cheap and always in my pocket. Playing even when driving a car.
I may have. I've seen and touched a lot of interesting things in the last 14 years in coture jewelry. I could make a whole album. I photograph the interesting things when I'm able.Being geologist myself, I had to look, what Tanzanite is
What i remember from scholl, black tourmaline (Schorl species ) was used for cleaning pipes (something with static electricity). You see, what university grade is good for...
. I´m doing groundwatter now, so nothing special with minerals, but still can admire nice work with gems.
Wow, that last opal set is nice!
Over a hundred years old. Look at the cut of the diamonds. Way before the invention of the old European cut. Back in a time when pieces like these had a custom hand made box to go with. And, the opals are still whole and show no signs of crazing.
Is it British, Victorian?
Love the distribution of diamonds on that cuban.
