Hi Everyone

I am looking for a ruby, or a pink sapphire... Basically

  • Budget: $3k, US unfortunately so burmese rubies are out
  • Hue: red, moving to slightly purplish-red or slightly orangish-red is ok
  • Saturation: atleast strong, prefer vivid (who doesn't)
  • Tone: medium light to medium dark, however pink is OK
  • Weight: I am fine with a smaller stone, I'd even prefer not paying the 1ct/1.5ct premiums and put the money in the color
  • Clarity: eye clean or better
  • Cut: prefer precision cut, no window, as would anyone, but I can do with native cut and a small window. if i had to choose i'd choose shallow over deep
  • Treatment: prefer untreated, but I can take a low temp heated only, and i'd prefer a stone with a report, not necessarily AGL but something reasonable

.. and I'd like it to glow ...

I've checked out some of the usual suspects, naturalunheatedruby, simplysapphires, multicolour.. there's a ive seen there that might do, but if anyone can help me out, especially with links to some specific stones, I'd really appreciate it!

Thanks very much!

Hi
Gene at Precision Gem just got some Winza ruby/sapphire rough in Tucson that might fit the bill, and be under your budget. They are usually untreated, as far as I know. I'd shoot him an email. I've staked my claim on one of the pieces, though! ;-)
