    I have a number of quite nice pieces of Rubellite Tourmaline rough from Nigeria. About to start working on them soon. Unfortunately one very large (40ct +) piece of very clean rough, is too flat and narrow to facet without cutting into a number of pieces. I'm thinking that cabbed, and then free form mounted around a ring of 22ct gold, it'd make a very valuable piece. Once I get my act together, I'll PM you for a bit of advice if you don't mind.

    Your jewellery is nothing short of beautiful. You surely know your stuff!
