You''re making me blush. I''m glad to see you starting your collection on the (what is to me) right track and not wasting money on stones that you''ll discard in a few months/years.Date: 7/15/2009 11:25:24 AM

Harriet,
Thanks for stoppin by....
I have lurked and drooled over all your lovelies. Its an honor to be in the company of someone who is incredibly knowledgeable and is a seasoned collectorr of FINE gems.
Given that Sparkles has never posted a photograph of a gem, I am guessing it probably is just the photographs. Please let her enjoy it for what it is -- a gift from the heart.Date: 7/15/2009 3:06:52 PM

Are you sure it''s a R5/6, which would indicate a vivid red gem, akin to a fine, but dark Burma ruby. In the photos I''m seeing quite a bit of brown secondary hue. I just want to make sure you obtained the right color code for your money. It could be just the photographs.
