Looking for tsavorite stone <1.2 cts

[rimshotsnap]

Hi All,

I recently started a thread hoping to locate tsavorite rough to have custom cut, but I have been losing hope to make it in time. Now I'm setting my sights on locating the right pre-cut stone. Here are my desired specs:

• 0.75-1.2 cts
  True green, or slightly on the darker side
  Very sparkly/lustrous
  Eye clean
  Under $700 or so
  Flexible on cut, but leaning toward a cushion

I've been searching far and wide and admittedly have some "analysis paralysis." But I haven't stumbled across THE right stone. I greatly appreciate any help!

Hi,

I found this round tsavorite on Loupetroop and thought that it might be of interest to you:

It is a little larger than what you were looking for and the seller might be willing to negotiate on the price. It is precision cut and the color looks very nice.

More important than carat weight, what are the minimum dimensions needed (length, width and depth) to fit the custom cut you want?

From the pic, this looks like a great choice.

This one is a cushion and profoundly within (rather decidedly under!) budget - don't know if it's smaller than you're looking for, at about 5mm x 5mm, but it's within the carat range you suggested!

(I've bought from him before & was happy with his photography which is sort of "best possible lighting" but not unachievable with normal conditions and colors were accurate; if you sign up for emails or something there's an additional 20% off, which is almost too good to be true but I used it on my first order and it's real!)
