A milky light blue marquise aquamarine that I cut (1 1/8" long) plus over 100 cts of gorgeous green beryl rough (these two are the same mineral, just different colors). The green beryl is amazing and I won't be cutting into it until I'm much, much better at it.

I'M NOT DEAD! Really. I had pneumonia for a month and narrowly avoided hospitalization. Then my DSL went down for three arduous weeks of AT&T customer service hell (just ask for tier II support right away, you'll be transferred back to the states). Here are some rings, I am very behind.
