Item #: GBD-SF-RBY-02

Availability:

This is real Ruby! It's not widely known, though, that the opaque form of Ruby is far more affordable than the transparent type (the kind usually used in calibrated sizes for rings). Beautiful Ruby Faceted Teardrops will make an unusual centerpiece for a dainty necklace or as drops for earrings! Better "in person" than can be shown by this picture. This batch has not been dyed - but has been heat-treated to enhance the natural color. Holes in beads of this kind can be very small - when we received them, they were strung on wire measuring 0.27mm in diameter. Sold individually and priced by the carat, sizes are given for reference; size ranges overlap because some drops are thinner/thicker than others.

Item #: GBD-SF-APT-03

Availability:

This group of faceted teardrop beads have been formed from nice big pieces of Apatite - a gemstone where the stock is typically very small.

Item #: GBD-SF-MNR-03

Availability:

One of the outstanding qualities of these Rainbow Moonstone teardrops is their wonderful blue "flash". The picture does not do these justice - "flash" in this group ranges from good to excellent. The base color is milky white to almost transparent; a few teardrops may have the tiny black inclusions that you typically see in this gemstone. These are hand cut and faceted drops, so expect the typical irregularities, including drill holes that are not quite level across the stone and very slightly asymmetrical shapes. A few of the teardrops in this group are very tall and slender. Sold individually and priced by the carat, sizes are given for reference; size ranges overlap because some drops are thinner/thicker than others.

Category	Weight (Carats)	Average Dimensions
Small	2.5 to 3.1	10-13mm high, 8-9mm wide
