6mm round gemstone options

Each stone varies especially between batches/orders, I do my best to at least match or improve the quality of stone I order over time, depending on availability and budget (and ability to use them in existing designs without raising prices). Quality grade information is taken from the gemstone sellers, I cannot personally verify them.

Moonstone: white to clear with blue or rainbow flash, occasionally more unique flash like orange; AAA quality

Labradorite: blue to green toned translucent grey, with flash that can range from orange or yellow to blue; AAA quality
