Barry has emailed saying sorry that I'm beaten again...(I'd rather not receiving his email, haha)
He is indeed very nice to offer that he will cut a similar stone for me; it's just he doesn't have any rough option right now.
i feel your pain- it is beautiful! I would have picked it up in a heart beat . I emailed Barry to see if he had extra rough - he responded back very quickly that it was all gone.
I'm sorry on your missing out - I'd be crying my eyes out for missing something like that too. I haven't seen him offer such a lovely tourmaline in a while.
