Here's one I just finished today that is from a piece of rough I bought this year in Tucson.
The material is gray spinel from Mozambique.

Hi Precision Gem ,

Beautiful! I love the gray spinel, not really gray actually, that's what makes it charming.
Thank you for sharing this wonder and congratulations for the achievement!

Here are a few more from some rough I bought this year in Tucson.
First one is a salmon color tourmaline from The Congo, next one is another of the "New Tanga Garnets"
