elle it's GORGEOUS! Lovely in person, and it's great to see it next to the lavender spinel :) You now are the proud owner of two perfect pastel stones! Can't wait to see what you plan in terms of setting!

My malaya is here! And now I know why I haven't bought one until now...I was holding out for this beauty! Here are some pics in different lighting. I see more purple than red, but I'm sure I just need to get it into the right lighting to see the red.

Thanks all! Now to figure out what to do with it. In fact, I've got a big pile of unset stones that my new purchases have inspired me to come through and come up with ideas.

Looks GREAT! Congrats, can't wait to see what setting ideas you come up with. Settings are hard for me to pick.

They really are! I contacted David Klass but haven't heard back from him yet. Thinking of sending him both that and the scapolite. Otherwise I might have my local guy put it in a Stuller or something. In the past I would have just sent them to Daniel M, but not after all that drama.

Oooh! DK or Stuller, sounds wonderful! Whatever you decide, I am very excited to see the final results. :)

I bet that pink spinel is amazeballs. I love his Jua cut - so sparkly! But alas...I have too much on the go, and already have a bigger pink spinel from Gene that I have yet to set!

I wonder who got the purple garnet and hessonite garnet! Those sold so fast! :)

Yes, that pink spinel is a beauty!

Love the pink spinel, but it faces up pretty small. The color though! :love:

I'm the one who got the garnets :shock: I'm hoping the hessonite goes as perfectly with my blue round zircon as it does in my head. The purple garnet will only be mine for a little while... it's going to end up as a graduation gift for my sister, who graduates from college in December. Her birthstone is garnet and her favorite color is purple, so it was a no brainer. I bought the stone, and my parents are going to set it into a pendant for her :appl:

I am forever in love with the color of that spinel though. It seems to glow in the video :love: I really had to talk myself out of spending money I don't have on it!!

It's great Gene is taking videos in natural light, sometimes the darker toned stones appear to light in the still shots. The pink is a perfect pink, the depthmust be quite deep, the cutting is so pretty though like a flower.

Arabella, congrats on you purchases! :appl: I hope you share them here when you get them. They are very pretty!

Someone said Gene was doing videos of the stones. I don't find those on his site. Do you have to request those or does he have another site?
