Stone : Tourmaline
Cut By : Doug Menadue, 2010
Item : #180
Design : Smith Bar (Jeff Graham)
Origin : Afghanistan
Treatments : None
Weight : 5.4 carats
Clarity : Eye Clean
Size : 7 x 14 x 6 mm
Price : SOLD
Comments : When it comes to Smith Bars, a rich green Afghan tourmaline is THE classic stone. There is something about this stone that so well suits the Smith Bar design. Perhaps it is the original crystal shape which is an elongated triangluar prism. This gemstone exhibits two tones of green, a sort of deep lime green at one end changing to a rich slightly blue green at the other. It is the perfect size and shape for a stunning ring, pendant or bracelet. It is very slightly included with some of those small fine vertical veils that are common for tourmaline which in this stone are difficult to see face up and do not detract from its overall beauty.

Stone : Pink Tourmaline
Cut By : Doug Menadue, 2011
Item : #364
Design : Smith Bar (Jeff Graham)
Origin : Nigeria
Treatments : None
Weight : 3 carat
Clarity : Very Slightly Included
Size : 9 x 7 x 5.5 mm
Price : SOLD
Comments : This is a nice pink tourmaline from Nigeria that is cut in the classic Smith Bar design. The pink flash is nice and bright and there are some lovely peachy orange flashes in there as well. The gem is well sized for a ring and it is cut in a calibrated size so it should fit a standard setting without any difficulty. I like the "pixelation" action in this Smith Bar design when you tilt it backwards and forwards. There is a very small veil in the crown but nothing that detracts from the appearance of the gem. A fine pink tourmaline gem!

Stone : Blue / Green Tourmaline
Cut By : Doug Menadue, 2009
Item : #130
Design : Smith Bar (Jeff Graham)
Origin : Afghanistan
Treatments : None
Weight : 3.96 carats
Clarity : Very Slightly Included
Size : 8mm X 10mm
Price : SOLD
Comments : This is a classic blue / green tourmaline from Afghanistan. The colour saturation is excellent and there are definitely three distinct colours that I can see in this stone depending on the angle viewed. There is a nice blue (teal?), a grass green and a bright and lively lime green. This stone was cut from a piece of rough that had an open "C" axis and this is what gives it the bright lime green colour. This is an excellent stone cut in a modern, flashy design.

Stone : Topaz
Cut By : Doug Menadue, 2010
Item : #259
Design : Smith Bar
Origin : O'Briens Creek, Mt Surprise, North Queensland, Australia
Treatments : None
Weight : 43 carats
Clarity : Very Slightly Included
Size : 12 x 22 x 13 mm
Price : SOLD
Comments : A monster of a topaz... the biggest Smith Bar I've ever cut and seen. This big stone was found by a couple who came out with us on the topaz digging tour... they were over the moon when they dug this beauty up! Cutting big stones like this is a time consuming and very challenging endevour especially when it comes to polishing those big long rectangular facets. There are a few very fine silver needles in this gem. I've included some "action" shots to show you the original rough stone and the cutting process.

Stone : Tourmaline
Cut By : Doug Menadue, 2008
Item : #43
Design : Smith Bar (Jeff Graham)
Origin : Afghanistan
Treatments : None
Weight : 6.18 carats
Clarity : Slightly Included
Size : 14mm X 8mm X 6.5mm
Price : SOLD
Comments : This is a very nice tourmaline cut in a modern design. It has an apple green colour and is darkish towards one end, fading to lighter tone on the other end. There is a very slight feather veil on the bottom of one end of the keel and several small inclusion scratches near one end of the pavilion. Viewing the stone face up they are not noticeable. This would make a good men's ring. A fine gem.
