my little score....

[rparker1998]

Forgive the poor photo, i had to crop it way in to upload it under 100K. ITS AN AQUAMARINE. please feel free to comment. Won't hurt my feelings for what little I paid for it if it's crap.

It''s not quite as dark as these photo''s are portraying. It is definately lighter. More of a pale baby blue. I haven''t cleaned it or louped it yet....but boy was it a good find It is .70 carats and trillian cut.

I actually really like the color- nice and icy! I''m not an expert but is that a window in the center? if so I think most settings will cover it right up because of the location! I think it is beautiful...go ahead tell us what a great deal you got on it

Hi Rparker

Nice to see you posting again!!

Nice little aqua there, I hope you do something with it and enjoy it!!

What’s the size of the stone? It doesn’t look too bad; some gray as expected with most aquamarines but at least it isn’t washed out.

Nope, no window, reflection of sun. I''ll try to post better photos soon. I was surprised this little gem didn''t have any windows.

TL~~~THanks! Been lurking a lot, but not posting. I have a ton of new stuff to post! Green diamonds, NATURAL PAD sapphire 3 stone ring coming any day now, Ruby ring, Green Topaz, all sorts of new stuff. Just need to get hubby to photo some of it with the light box and "good" camera.

Chrono~~~ Thanks! I''m hoping to post a photo of it''s true color shortly.




Would you beleive i paid under $10.00 for this little gem! it''s a .70 Carat stone.

Pretty colour and cool shape! What are you going to do with it?

 

[Novel]

That is a beautiful color! I love the icy-er ones.

 

[Nomsdeplume]

That''s a pretty one! Good deal!

 

[Stone Hunter]

It looks nice. And you got it for a great price. Congrats!

Aquas are one of my favourites and yours is very nice.

Thanks Ya''all, she is quickly growing in my heart. I''m thinking pendant, bezel to bring out her pale blue....but not sure yet, need to get her a bath first and a check up.

I don''t have photos yet, but today in the mail I received my 2 trilliant cut pariaba colored apatite stones, apx .71 carats I think. I was expecting them to be larger, but they are stunning. We also received hubby''s Emerald Specamin Rough from Brazil I think it is. My 3 stone NATURAL PAD ring is awaiting pick up at the USPS on Sat...I sure hope I can wait that long.....AGHHHHH

Photo''s to come. The apatites are specatcular and as good of a deal as the aqua.
