HereKttyKitty, THANKS !!! Yes, they are absolutely yummy looking !!!
BTW, I NEED your advice on how to take great pictures of my SPESS, like that beauty in your avatar

Kelpie, I sent my Tsav (and Spinel) to Sally ! She did a great job, and I can't wait to have her
start another project with me, but it's going to be awhile till I can put together the funds.....

In all honesty, I am kind of enjoying my loose stones and rough!

I live somewhere extremely bright and sunny most of the year. I have a room where light streams through the window quite well mid-day. I turn off all the lights and open the blinds as much as I can, so it looks like this:

Then I put fabric down on the floor and arrange my stones. I take the picture with my hand cupped over the top of the stone. So it looks like this:

I don't know why, but this makes my stones look as good as they do in real life. Like:

Give it a try if you live somewhere with a lot of sunlight!

You have some really lovely gems, and PETS. That cat has gorgeous eyes.

Sorry for my naivete, but what is the red stone? Looks like spinel but I can't really tell...

 

[ooo~Shiney!]

Hi Crasru, sorry I truly didn't mention, did I ?
It is a Mahenge Spinel ring ( Swala stone ) with a piece of Mahenge rough....
One of my favorite stones, and I am wearing it today !!!!!
It is small on my hand, but packs a powerful punch I think

Always on the lookout for more more MORE.....

I love your Swala stone. Does it have a thread? Thank you all for the compliments on my stones and kitty.

Oh, your new AVATAR !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
