[QUOTE="Shek, post: 72676845, member: 409292"] Here's comes strictly EYE-CANDY! This next wholesale source supplies gem cutters all over the world. He's one of the most well-known rough gem suppliers on the planet. So for those of you that have never seen facet grade gem rough, you're in for a treat!' [URL="https://www.instagram.com/intimategems/?hl=en"]Farooq Hashmi (@intimategems) • Instagram photos and videos[/URL] This next video is one of my personal favorites to cut. The color is a very rare intense wintergreen and the size of this rough piece is just HUGE for this species. [URL="https://www.instagram.com/p/_vebSwM5RV/?hl=en"]Farooq Hashmi on Instagram: “2.5 Gram Mirerani Mint Grossular Garnet Faceting Rough from Tanzania! #mirerani #mintgarnet #grossular #garnet #facetingrough #mint…”[/URL] 2.5 grams = 12.50 carats. This is Meralani Mint Garnet. It produces a what can only be described as a wintergreen diamond. The color is nothing short of awe-striking and produces a truly stunning and unique gem. It's a very rare type of green garnet that's only found in one place, the Meralani foot hills in Tanzania. The same place where Tanzanite is mined. But this species of green garnet is 10 times more valuable and can run $1000's per carat for large gems. The ladies are gonna love this color, a very rare shade of Tourmaline.

Electric Neon Mint #laghman #afghanistan #tourmaline #xtal #facetrough lot! #intimategems, #facetingrough, #facetinginappropriate content,…”[/URL] The next links will show Farooq's archives of sold parcels dating back nearly 20 years. You could spend DAYS in here just oogling everything....and it will give you a much better idea of how much rough gems cost in large parcels within the last decade. To view the lots, just click on the thumbnail image.

Here's a great example of how much some species of gems have increased in value just in the last decade.
