Where is that photo from ? It doesn't look quite right.

on my screen looks like a great color(i'm not a photography expert as others in here), perhaps around 5500 would be a better deal since it is heated, but better check for inclusions since it is not visible from pictures.

Ditto.

Either something weird happened in resizing that photo, or it looks (to me) like the stone was photoshopped into it. The edges look strangely blunt/pixelated or something. That said, it sure looks pretty.

OP: please come back and tell us more? There was a vendor who took similar photos and for a while at least was photoshopping a picture of the stone onto a hand - this is likely one of the things that people are concerned about when they say the pic looks off...

Who is the vendor of this pic?. I've blown up the pic so you can judge for yourself.

Minous, who was the vendor at that time?

Preg, you know what? I seriously can't recall. I always get them confused and I don't want to reference the wrong one by accident. I'm so sorry

Man, I know how hard it is to get accurate shots of stones, but that Photoshop job is so crazy.

I mean, I've tried 3 cameras on my stones, and the only way I can get a good picture of my stone is with an iPhone, on an overcast day. Even then, the time of day makes the pictures look very different (as you photographers know).

Well, I guess it wasn't that important to the OP as they have not reappeared since their original post.

The OP might have already bought it.

Ooops, I hadn't thought of that!
