    This was a fun group of sapphires. It shows a good variety in colors that sapphires can come in. My sapphires can be found in my Etsy shop: maxfieldlapidary.etsy.com
    I will have a booth at the Tucson Gem Show in the Pueblo Gem Show booth number 123 in the Court Pavilion. Show dates run from January 30 - February 11. Stop by if you want to see some of my work in person or meet me/talk to me there.

      I might stop by your booth, but frankly it looks like you need to slow down and get more even and accurate facets. I'd only be looking for recut potential at your booth for most of the stones in this video.

      They’re all really gorgeous! I live near there and lived across from the Gem Mountain Store for a couple years. My favorites are the multi color ones

      Do you charge for faceting? I have some sapphires that I would like facetted.

    The blue/green and hot pink sapphires are my favorite. This video makes me want to start panning.

      Some of the Eldorado bar sapphires come from miners that go through the old mine dumps from the gold miners that were getting gold from the Missouri River. Back in the day the sapphires were just thrown out with the rest of the gravel.

    The dark pink really is the star of the show! Yellow is my favourite Sapphire colour but hexagon is my favourite cut. Yes the icy blue has a lot of inclusions but they give it even more of an icy effect, love it!

  • @preparedsurvivalist2245

    I hate pink in almost any circumstance, but I love it in gemstones. Nature is the only thing that gets pink right! Also, I love the cut you did on that pink one. Well done indeed.

      Thats becuz pink is a pastel...in gem it's a light violet red isn't it? I have no inclination to choose anything 'pink' either . Beautiful gem.

    Yet another hobby I wish I could enter, but I already have enough expensive creative hobbies as it is. I shall just sit here and vicariously live it through this channel.
    I wonder if my grandfather used similar tools. He was a hobbyist jeweler and made everyone rings with their birth stones a few years before he passed. I know he used a lot of old fashioned methods like creating sand and wax molds. I was just starting to get into 3D printing and had shared a few resin printed rings with him which definitely interested him. Wish I could have shared this video with him and ask him about his process.
