Okay, gem fans, picked this up at Tucson. It is 7.71 ct, has a perfectly centered/traveling 6-star. It is unusual in its pear shape. I would never have thought I would buy a star ruby but when I saw it in person, well the cash just jumped out of my wallet, LOL. Isn''t this the fun of gemstones? The miraculousness and beauty of a mere mineral.
Nuff philosphizing. This was my husband''s fave buy of mine this year. He is geologist and has rarefied tastes; for example, he about weeps when I buy amethyst: "It''s QUARTZ!"
I''m thinking full bezel setting for this due to the pear point.
But what color metal?
What would Harriet chose?!?!!
