I don't put up many Chyrsoberyls, because frankly, their colors are usually fairly bland. This may be due to they don't photograph well, but I believe most the sones just are not real intensely colored, or are a ugly green/yellow, but their are exceptions. This seems to be one of them. A nice bright stone from Sri Lanka! 3.74 cts

Rockahula!

This is one of the more strange stones I've came across. I really don't know much, next to nothing, about it. I even thought it might of been Fire Agate at first.

It almost looks like it has a transparent coating on it? Beats the hell out of me??? :)

Dimpled Garnet Carbanucle! 4.29 cts

I believe it's carved from the back - similar to the carving that we've seen on this forum.

Rockahula!

You ever notice the resemblance of a nice medium colored Kashmir Sapphire to a "Jedi" Blue Spinel?

Kashmir Sapphire! 5.60 cts
