This beautiful natural polite comes in at just under 3ct. It was sourced, cut and polished by the lovely Albine who is part of the ROAM Lapidary Collective we helped get off the ground. This piece has a little wear and a few inclusions but more than makes up for it with a lovely backstory. . #lawsongems #gem #gemstones #gemmology #gemology #jewelry #Jewellery #jewellerydesign #jewelrydesign #handemadejewellery #handemadejewelry #lapidary #gemcutting #iolite #responsiblesourcing #responsiblemining #ethicalsourcing #fairtrade #Madagascar (at Brisbane, Queensland, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_1IhmfnS_D/?igshid=17r4ycriertfd

Check out the awesome growth patterns on this nice ruby crystal picked up in Sakaraha, Madagascar. Though truth be told I have a feeling that it may have somehow made it's way over from Mozambique given its crystal form 😅. #lawsongems #gem #gemstones #gemmology #gemology #jewelry #Jewellery #jewellerydesign #jewelrydesign #handemadejewellery #handemadejewelry #lapidary #gemcutting #ruby #Madagascar https://www.instagram.com/p/B9vztIRHXs-/?igshid=xdz4y3uj2p0t
