You know, it looks almost too light to be called a tsav...or is it just me?
In my reading and observation, it appears that anything lighter than a medium light green is too light to be considered a tsavorite. That said, I do not think there is a definitive answer as to where the cut point is.Date: 10/20/2009 1:56:57 PM

So question? at what saturation does a tsav not be a tsav? I got a tsav ring but I guess from what I''m hearing it may not be? (I''ll post pics when I receive it)
BTW, far as I''m concerned that stoned is called GORGEOUS

Yes I think you are right Chrono. I was trying to avoid the tilt window! High up on my list of things to do this fall is to resolve my photography problems which stem from bad technique and bad equipment. There certainly isn''t any extinction in my stone. I''ll give it another whirl in a couple of days, when I''ve got a bit more time.Date: 10/20/2009 2:36:00 PM

Gailey,
Since I doubt your well cut stone has that much extinction, I’m pretty sure the darkness you see is due to head obstruction (aka shadowing from the camera).You can remedy that by having your light source come from a different direction, or the easiest fix is to take a picture outdoors (although it might be a challenge if it’s still snowing outside).
