As many of you know I have a nephew who has cancer.  Darian was diagnosed with ACS, Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia,  in October of 2008.  He has taken it with strides and is doing as well as can be expected.  As a result he has become pretty active in the Relay for Life program.  He asked me to cut  a stone and sell it for his team this year. 

So this is the design I will be using which showcases a ribbon design that is used by the ACS.  Darians color of ribbon, for his type of cancer, is Orange so the stone will be a madeira citrine with the ribbon remaining frosted or unpolished.  The design that will be used is shown below.  The finished gem will be 10+ carats and in the 30-40 dollars per carat range.  Cutting on this stone will occur in the next few days.

If you would like to reserve this stone while helping Darian and his team , contact me here!
