LaurenThePartier Ideal Rock Total Posts: 8,172 Last Post: 11/22/2009 Member Since: 3/2/2004	Freke's thread from a few weeks ago inspired me to take some pics of my whole collection . . . you can definitely tell the ebay stones from the cutter stones, but there are a few that are surprising! *********************************************** DFW PS GTG Planner Extraordinaire :)

LaurenThePartier Ideal Rock Total Posts: 8,172 Last Post: 11/22/2009 Member Since: 3/2/2004	A couple of blue sapphires with bigger windows I bought at a gemshow before I knew what I was doing. Both are heated, and basically have super huge windows. They weren't much money at all, though. Pink tourmalines, also windowed, and my very first yellow sapphire purchase from AJSGems. Two white zircons. *********************************************** DFW PS GTG Planner Extraordinaire :)

I'll post a pic of the EC sapphire I plan on setting, as well as the Finewater Gems Asscher aqua. Most of my gemstones are much smaller, so I'm working on building a collection of fine, large gemstones now that I know what colours I like, and don't like. *********************************************** DFW PS GTG Planner Extraordinaire :)

LaurenThePartier Ideal Rock Total Posts: 8,172 Last Post: 11/22/2009 Member Since: 3/2/2004	My Asscher Aqua - I LOVE this stone . . . in the front is my purple spinel that matches the cut of the pink tourmaline I set a while back. I may set both of those soon. *********************************************** DFW PS GTG Planner Extraordinaire :)

LaurenThePartier Ideal Rock Total Posts: 8,172 Last Post: 11/22/2009 Member Since: 3/2/2004	I love the colour of this gently heated blue EC sapphire. I bought it from my local jeweler, who held it aside when it came and called me. It's right at 1.2 ct. and I love the exagerrated clipped corners. There are also a pair of EC citrines in this pic and a peak of my SQ Emerald Morganite. *********************************************** DFW PS GTG Planner Extraordinaire :)

What are the specs on it? I'll have to dig back through a thread to find the exact specs, but IIRC, it's a 2.9 ct. 8x8mm asscher. It's incredibly deep, too - like ~6mm, so I'll probably have to go custom on it. *********************************************** DFW PS GTG Planner Extraordinaire :)
