The curves and flowing nature of this carving allows the bright golden yellow colour to move and wash around within. This piece was hand carved from a gorgeous citine crystal tip and this is reflected in the finished shape and it's exceptional clarity. A very fine gem.

In it's original rough form this lovely piece of golden citrine had a natural flame like shape to it . I wanted to carve a flame from it but as I progressed I discovered a firebird began to reveal itself, unfurling from the flames. From that point on I could visualise the mythic phoenix rising from the fire and that was the spirit I felt this piece would embody.

There is something about carving a scarab beetle that is soothing and meditative. The scarab has long been used as a symbol of rebirth and regeneration, a symbol of the Egyptian god, Ra as the rising sun, renewed every day and rolled across the sky and at sunset took it through the underworld to again rise the next day. This lovely citrine embodies the colour of the sun with a diffused glow that radiates warmth and strength.

This beautiful carving has been set as a pendant, see it here.

The third in my Psychonaut series of small sculptures is created from a natural piece of O'Briens Creek citrine that I dug many years ago when I spent some time up that way fossicking for gemstones. I am really enjoying sculpting these pieces, they are a study in patience and attention to detail and they allow me to play and draw out other ways of working with gemstones that I want to explore.

With these pieces in the Psychonaut series I want to try and capture or convey a sense of wonderment and child-like awe, and again in this small sculpture we see my little astral traveller passing through the cosmos silently witnessing beautiful and amazing things taking place. The things he must see, things we would never believe!

The deep rich hues of this maderia citrine are wonderful. This gem is a freeform design with deep grooves cut into the pavilion which creates an amazing 3D surreal landscape inside. This citrine gem would be idea for a modern ring setting or pendant. You will need a jeweller who is creative, imaginative and thinks outside the box to handle a gem like this.

This is an awesome citrine that I have cut in the munsteiner style. If you are not familiar with the gem artistry of Bernd and Tom Munsteiner then I highly recommend that you partake of a little googling and have a look at some of their works, they are astounding. Bernd originated this style decades ago and truly opened up a whole new perspective on working with gemstones, albeit one that is surprisingly not that widely known. I have been trying to learn these techniques myself but I am very much at the early stages and I have realised there is a great deal of skill and complexity that goes into cutting gems in this manner.

The inner world which is created within these gems is mesmerising and endlessly fascinating and very much remind me of Superman's icy Fortress of Solitude.

The beautiful deep rich colors of this madeira citrine come forth in this carving and move like light through honey, washing around the inside of the piece collecting in the curves for a moment and then moving on. It is a piece that I have in mind for a pendant or a ring.

Channeling some Munsteiner! One of the most innovative and recognisable gem artists of the 20th century was without doubt Bernd Munsteiner. His fresh and dynamic approach to the art of gemcutting was inspirational to many gemcutters and jewellers around the world and his gems were and still are highly sort after as collectable and wearable pieces of art.

After much study and thinking about how to approach this form of gemcutting I realised there is much much more to this then appears on the surface. The technical challenges are many and this style of gemcutting certainly involves alot of problem solving and patience. This is my very first piece finished in this style and in the doing I learnt much but it only scraped the surface and revealed how far I still have to go.

This is an awesome gem! Citrine and my turbine design just work so well together. I love the pattern that the design makes (just like the turbine of a jet engine) and the rich hues of golden citrine just make the gem come alive.

The tapered crown and the flat bottom makes this a low profile gemstone and easy to set, an ideal ring or pendant stone.

These are actually a matched pair of golden citrines that I specifically cut for a cufflink project that I have been working on for a while. I wanted to make a special pair of cufflinks that really stood out and highlighted the turbine design.

Comments : This is one incredible gem, an outstandingly beautiful golden honey citrine from Brazil. The colours are rich, sultry and sunny all at the same time. You can see the original rough stone here. It is an amazing citrine, eye clean and cut in one of my favorite oval designs, the Ten Main Oval. This design is perfect for citrine and has alot of crisp sharp facets that really bring brilliance and performance to the stone. It would make one awesome cocktail ring for sure! This is a highly recommended gemstone.

Comments : A very nicely matched pair of citrines. In the pics, the gems look a little darker then they are in real life. The concave design creates an iris like effect. There is no table with this design, instead it comes to a point, like a crown culet or the pavilion. I think this design is particularly effective for earrings.

Comments : This unusually cut gemstone came about because I couldn't bring myself to grind away all that beautiful crystal I was cutting. When it came time to cut the crown there happened to be alot of nice clear stone remaining and I found myself relucant to cut it away. It was lovely clean, clear, golden citrine and the gemstone was telling me it wanted to be different to the design I was cutting. So what I did in keeping with the "5" sided nature of the design was to lengthen the girdle so that the rectangle facet was in the "phi" ratio, in this case 8mm X 5mm and thus managed to preserve the glorious crystal. This gem is one of my favourites and isn't for sale, only show. It has a significance for me in that it represented the first time that a stone really felt like it wanted to express itself and I had to make a conscious choice to let it be what it wanted to be or enforce what I wanted it to be. I'm happy to say that in the end the gemstone won.
