Hehe, someone''s been stealth posting gems?

[MakingTheGrade]

Is it just me or has Gene been posting gemmies without them showing up in his blog?

I just saw this one by fluke, but I jumped on it since it gave me that "OMG MINE" feeling. And I like dark toned stones, and you guys know how I feel about his cutting

Hmmm...I bought it but I guess the site hasn't caught up yet. I actually emailed Gene with a few questions, but didn't want to risk it being scooped up before he answered. Haha, am I excessively paranoid?

A Winza sapphire, .96 ct. 6.05 x 5.26. Treatment isn't stated (I'm waiting to hear back about that).

He also has a round 6.26mm mint garnet up. its a bit too small for what I would want but its very pretty.

So he does! Sneaky...hehe. There's a new Rhodolite garnet too.
As a kid I used to hate that my hands were small, but now I don't mind having small fingers

I just heard from Gene that the sapphire is indeed unheated, yay!

I just saw those stones in his blog about 30 minutes ago. I clicked through to see the details on the sapphire and saw it was sold. Congrats on scooping that beauty.

If it''s half as nice as in this photo, that sapphire is really something!

That sapphire has very nice saturation and should give excellent flashes of blue. Congrats MTG, I can't wait for you to receive it. Sadly, that Mahenge spinel does nothing for me.

Sorry MakingTheGrade- I am a goober!

I just saw the picture and freaked out a little...I saw that you bought the GORGEOUS blue in another thread- I can''t wait to see what you decide to do for a setting
