Great pictures Uli! Those great looking blocks make me think what a fabulous sink or mini counter could be carved out of that material for an ultra feminine bath or ensuite . . .
 
Enjoying the rhodonite. I would love a pink stone.

OK finally I took some pics. Here are my Navajo sugilite earrings (gemstone quality, natural stones). Two other posts to come.

And now a very unusual and now rare US turquoise: Damale, mined in the 1970s and stashed away...most Damale (also spelled Damele) is variscite, but this is truly in the class of turquoise. All different shades in these stones, including a hint of peach in one stone and bright lime-green in the end stone. The bracelet is a Navajo-Anglo collaboration; Navajo silversmith with Anglo lapidarist.

And the amber department. Necklace of old and newer Baltic amber and Carpathian Mountains crystals, by an independent artist in Poland.

Large asymmetrical honey Baltic amber pendant set in silver that I bought in Krakow, with an unusual dimensional setting (not flat).

Baltic earrings in a lighter color, bought in the US.

JellyV, thanks for the great pictures!!!
I love, love, love your damale bracelet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It reminds me very much of lemon chrysopras, a stone I like very much.
I once saw a beautiful lemon chrysopras bracelet and did not buy it. I will regret it my whole life....
