So I have a couple new Barry Bridgestock goodies to share (and another for a Christmas pressie on the way!).  And since I just got my new DSLR camera early Christmas present, the photo taking has been even more obsessive.  If you can imagine that! 

So without further ado, first up is the green tourmaline as LaurenthePartier's request

It is 1.21 ct and 6.1 mm, from Nigeria..

Barry's photo:

So I'll have to introduce the sapphire, as well, of course.

A yummy 6.9 mm, and 1.75 ct.  This is an unheated Umba sapphire with a bit of a color change.

A couple of Barry's photos-

Freke- It's going to be a ring (I haaaave to be able to see that baby!).  And in fact, it is going to be in this setting w/ baguettes.

I love this one, because it is showing off the needles that let us know it's unheated!  (not to mention the sparkles)

Color changing in incandescent light, as it likes to do- this is the best photo I have yet of it looking purple.  And now I can't seem to find the one that Barry sent me either.

Freke- quoting and replying to you for a second time I think I felt a little guilty when I bought it, because I figured that you were probably in love with its yummy blueness too!

I think that's all I've cropped so far!!

however, I will give a little sneak peak of the Christmas present.  And just so you guys don't think I am tooo spoiled, it's going to be a pendant for my mom.  She loves sapphires (her birthstone) and she has never had a really nice one!  Barry says that it is a true blue in daylight, and a tanzanitesque purple indoors!  So here is her debut

I think it will make a pretty nice pendant; it is I think about 1.2 carats and 6 mm.  I hope she will love it!  I've put a lot of time into searching for a great stone for her.  And can I just say that Barry is wonderful!  Talented, and such a nice man too
