Ask Grady Harris at Creative Gems. The one I cut (sold long ago) was
flux grown and purchased from him. He may still have some.

New era and others may carry it as well. Are you looking for rough or
finished gems? should be easy to find either way.

remember - you are looking for flux grown, color change chrysoberyl. Be
careful, there are many color change materials around.

I don't know if you live in the US. If you do, you should have been in Tucson a
couple weeks ago.

If you haven't found it by next year February, come to Tucson. Make hotel
reservations well in advance, like September or October of this year. You can
always cancel if you find your stone.

It's been a long time. I'm pretty sure it was flux or possibly
Czochralski grown. Nowadyas I think Czochralski is more popular. Of
course, it's quite possible flux is still in stock somewhere as rough or
cut.
You might email through the following sites and ask about flux grown stones;

http://www.morioncompany.com
http://www.creativegems.com/

sorry if this is not helpful

[[Moderator's note. I've allowed these two (this post and the other he sent,
since it's on topic to the thread. But readers may notice that Crescent gems,
the domain of the poster of this message, is listed as one of only two dealers
shown on the referenced site. This is an ad, not an accidental discovery of a
nice site. treat accordingly. And Nick, don't do this again.. Deceptive ad
practices make your company look, well,... figure it out. PWR]]

Many/most/a hell of a lot of people will flat refuse to do business on any
website presented this way; as "Hey Looky Looky what -I- just found". It
is not deceptive. It is a flat out lie. I don't do business with known
liars. If they lie small they will lie big.

Actually, I didn't need much of the headers. The posters "from" header, which
is still in the posting, shows him as being from Crescent gems company. The web
site referenced does not belong to Crescent gems. At least I don't thinkso. I
didn't actually check up on the site's registered owner. But he's listed on
it as one of two main dealers in the dealer listing. There may, (I didn't look)
be many more sellers carried on that site that are not in that listing. dunno.

I approved the post because the site is not, technically, the posters, atleast
I didn't think so, and I found a few features available (notably the interesting
link to a gem valuation site, which caught my fancy. don't know if it's any
good, but it caught my eye as interesting). Call it a whim. But noting that
the posters claim to have just stumbled across the site and bookmarked itdidn't
seem to ring true, as you note, was why I included the notice in one of his two
posts. I hope you agree that this was appropriate. If not, then i'm sorry.

cheers

Peter
