So I bought two stones a week or so ago.  I finally got home during the daylight and we weren''t under a tornado watch for once.  So I took the opportunity to take some pics. 

First up is a .81ct Tourmaline from Dan Stair.  6.23 mm.   I''m sending this to OneGarnetGirl (etsy) to be set into a bezel and hopefully combined with some stones she has to make a stacker set.   I will be honest and say I almost returned the ring.   It has a tilt window that bugs me and wasn''t quite what I had hoped it would be.  However, I decided the bezel stacker ring was worth a shot.  It wasn''t terribly expensive and I''m not sure how much "my style" a stacker set will be.  So I figured this stone was the perfect candidate for that experiment.

Dan descirbed this as minty green and similar to an Oyo tourmaline.   I''m not sure his description was very accurate honestly.  So without further ado. . . up first is the vendor pic.
