Uncut Australian Ruby - Australian Ruby, uncut
My favourite gemstone is the Australian Ruby. I cannot say why I picked this particular gemstone but I have always liked them. In fact I have a ruby in my eternity ring, which is now 35 years old and would have had one in my engagement ring, but there were none available at the time. I have several pieces of jewellery with rubies and the majority of them are Australian rubies.

Probably rubies. They are my daughter's birthstone and look great on my wife.

I like tsavorite garnet because it is a beautiful green color. Unfortunately, it is quite expensive and I don't own even a small piece of it. My favorite affordable gemstone is peridot. For it's pretty green color.
