Natural blue topaz (10.56 carats) from litnon

[txgreeneyes]

It's a light blue color. Sure, it's not worth as much as a dark one or an imperial topaz, but I really want this! So, I just ordered it today.

What to do with it.. what to do with it..

I really like it and you paid a good price for it. Are you thinking about setting it? It is also nice for a gemstone collection of course .

Nice price.
Would it be a good size for a pendent?

Hmmm...Actually natural blue topaz is very rare, and while not as vibrant and saturated as the fakeys, much more respectable. I like the cut too!

What to do with it is definitely a good question. At 14 mm, it's going to need a lot of metal to set it and no matter how it is set, you have to account for the cut depth which is at least 8 mm high. Once set, it will sit around 9 mm above the finger or neck.

I like it a lot. Looks a little like a Montana sapphire. It would make a gorgeous pendant. Do you wear them?

Oooh! I have been eyeing that stone for quite a while but never got around to pulling the trigger. Please share plenty of photos!

Agree it would be great as a pendant. It's a great shape for one! Alternatively, a brooch... does anyone wear those anymore? A brooch can be a pendant too!
