I bought this opal in October after my niece was born but I haven''t had it set you. It is a beautiful orange color. Came from Michael E.
Oh I loved this opal and almost bought it. Is it as gorgeous IRL as it is in the pictures? I bet it has the most beautiful play of colors!!

Catmom, yes, I really like the play of colors. This picture is representative of what it looks like in natural light.

Here's an orange/brown/yellow native-cut Sri Lankan sapphire (2.2ct) in Van Craeynest no. 483 (Love in Bloom has a lovely white with purple spinel version

). The stone is (supposedly) untreated.

BE sapphire. Not usually a fan of treated rocks, but this orange bad boy can carry its own!
Another one here!

Oh, my! You know, this forum could really get me into trouble. I *was* happy with the very brilliant, small (4mm) spess in my collection. Now I want to set it (no problem) but I also want BIGGER! All of yours are stunning.

It''s not a spess, but I just ordered myself this brown/orange zircon. 15.60x5.00mm, 4.75cts. This forum is good for me - or bad depending on how one looks at it. I normally don''t buy much in the way of stones for myself - I love them, but I deal with so many professionally that the want for a personal collection tends to be more dormant. You guys are helping me realize I should have a few more pretties just for me.

i believe the subject is "orange".....and in my mind any stone of that color is appropriate....and yours is certainly lovely.

I'm not usually drawn to oranges unless their colour screams at me! This one did! It's 64.50ct of Citrine. After seeing all the beauties in this thread, I think I need to rethink my ambivalence towards orange because there are some in here that make me drool!

This is a tiny 1ct Spess I bought from Ebay for next to nothing - it was one of those where you put on a bid, forget about it, walk away and then find you''ve won it for $3 or something!!! It was a very nice surprise when this came in the mail:

A Mexican fire opal cut by the same lapidary (Uli of osirisgems) as the 15 carat opal I posted above.

Here it is posing with some demantoids and vendor photo. It is 9mm in size.

Orange is my favorite. I have collected many in my search for my HG orange, like quantity would somehow make up for not finding "the one" lol!
