[Catmom]

Ooooooo, beautiful color!

 

[T L]

Very pretty, and no extinction on that puppy!! It''s very common to see extinction in indicolite.

 

[Nomsdeplume]

How are you planning to set that beauty?

 

[LD]

Very pretty - I like that you can see blue and green together.

Have you measured it? Is it 6 x 4mm? If so, it should be easy to find a setting.

 

[marcy]

Wow, that is gorgeous and what a beautiful color.

Might I ask where you ordered this from? Thanks.

 

[Kismet]

Very pretty! I love the color on that one.

 

[sparklyheart]

Wow I love that color!! Do you know what you are going to do with it yet?

 

[brandy_z28]

Thanks mochi, D&T, amethystguy, szh07, Freke, klewis, Catmom, TL, and Kismet!

Arcadian, thanks and I sure hope you''ve received your stone by now! Can''t wait to see your pics!

Kribbie, thanks! I''m not sure how I''m going to set it yet. I''m hoping that finding something will be pretty simple because it''s supposedly a very standard size. I just saw the stone and immediately had to have it.

LovingDiamonds, thanks! I have not measured it as I don''t have the tools to do so but it appears to be very close to those measurements if not spot on. The stones seems pretty deep so I hope that won''t pose a problem finding a setting.

marcyc, thanks! I purchased the stone from Gemline, they have an ebay account, litnon.com is their website.

sparklyheart, thanks! No plans just yet but it has to be set! It''s just too pretty not to.

The indicolite is a pretty colour; not overly dark at all. GL seems to have pretty good indicolites lately.
