My favs are the cats eye tourmaline, the orange pink sapphire, the fire agate and the lavender spinel ( it would make a great ring).

He always has such fun stuff!

I'm lovely the blue spinel(even though I am not a huge oval fan) and the bi-color EC sapphire :)

I too like the color of the lavender spinel, just not the inclusions

That pink/orange sapphire is HOT!!!

This site is fun to review, as there are cool gems that I rarely find on other sites. The colbalt spinel is pretty, though not in the market for one of those. I think the cat's eye tourmaline is interesting and am wondering how strong the "eye" is and as a cab, I like the color. The violet spinel is interesting and I emailed Brad for more information. Apparently, someone else asked before I did, but he mentioned he has another similar, for which he would send me information on. My fear is that it will have too much gray, but sometimes gray can make the stone interesting.

They do have some pretty gems on the site. The spinels were pretty.

Ooohhh... I wish that bi-color sapphire would fit the LOGR setting I just got (sigh). Somebody has to buy that beautiful thing!

The color on that pink/orange sapphire is way impressive! I like the cobalt, too. Brad always has interesting stones!

Brad is one of my favourite vendors.

This time around, I loved the orange pink sapphire. The tugtupite would fit nicely in my phenomenal gems collection. And I crave a Munsteiner stone - the aqua would do nicely.

I love Brad''s website for the many unique gemstones that he carries. That cobalt is quite tempting as the tourmaline cat''s eye too. The orange pink sapphire is quite a looker and .....oh what the heck, I enjoy looking at all of them.

I do not see any orange pink sapphire or cobalt in his new inventory. Where are you finding these?

Thanks Chrono,
I went there, but all I see is a pink-orange tourmaline, not a sapphire, and I don't see the cobalt spinel.

How weird... it works for me (and everyone else, it seems!) Can you try clearing your cookies?

That cobalt blue spinel is gorgeous!
That one doesn''t do much for me for some reason, and also notice how the tweezers are lighter in that pic than the vivid orange-pink sapphire. I bet that cobalt is darker in person.

Brad from the site sent me a picture of another lavender spinel that he has available. Specs are the same as the spinel on reserve, but I am going to pass on it. However, I just thought I would post, in case anyone else was interested.

OK, I am torn...do you all think that the cobalt will be too dark if it is darker than the photos on the site??? Am told that it photographs well and is a tad darker IRL.

I think I would pass on it, personally. Darker would be too dark, IMO. Go for that sapphire instead
