Star rose quartz

mariedtiger Ideal Rock Total Posts: 645 Last Post: 11/22/2009 Member Since: 9/23/2008	Hi, I haven't seen any star rose quartz here, so I had a small photo shoot with mine. I'm going to ship it off to McFarland designs, an Etsy seller Monday. It's going to be set in a simple ring with red gold bezel and silver shank. I can't wait! I'll post pictures when I get it. In the meantime, here's the gem. The star was really difficult to catch, it's crazy bright in sunlight IRL. A fun stone.

I've planned everything from elaborate filigree to pink diamond details in the shank. But the star makes up for the action. At least on sunny days.

I also love how stones look when they are set. I feel much more confident playing with them. When they're loose, I'm always scared of dropping them or nicking them.

mariedtiger Ideal Rock Total Posts: 645 Last Post: 11/22/2009 Member Since: 9/23/2008	Thankyou Icce. I love star stones. I thought I would buy a real nice star rose quartz instead of an inferior star sapphire. But I ended up buying both . I actually think I overpaid for this quartz, after other prices I've seen online. But I would have to see the other gems IRL to be sure so there's no way to tell. Live and learn, and I love this gem, so it doesn't matter that much, luckily :)

cofor Cut Rock Total Posts: 132 Last Post: 6/6/2009 Member Since: 1/7/2009	I have not seen Rose quartz stars as cabochons earlier but as spheres like here: http://www.pricescope.com/idealbb/view.asp?topicID=110420 Very nice color but can you get the star out without a mirror behind the cabochon if mounted?

mariedtiger Ideal Rock Total Posts: 645 Last Post: 11/22/2009 Member Since: 9/23/2008	Hi Cofor, this is a really interesting question. I was going to have it set with an open back. Can you elaborate? I tried putting the stone on a mirror and shined a flashlight on it. I saw two stars, whereas if I put it on my hand, I see one star. If the sun shines on the stone, I see the star. I know some sources say, you have to shine the light through the back of the stone in order to see the star, but that hasn't been my experience. I would like to hear more, if you have any information

ma re Ideal Rock Total Posts: 1,705 Last Post: 11/24/2009 Member Since: 8/10/2008	Love it! I personally think these stones are some of the best buys, as they're not only interesting and beautiful, but waaay cheaper than any decent star sapphire, not to mention ruby. I also like black and white star sapphires (white are sometimes refered to as grey), which can also be very nice and affordable. Looking forward to seeing it set mr. ma re

mariedtiger Ideal Rock Total Posts: 645 Last Post: 11/22/2009 Member Since: 9/23/2008	Yay, my ring is done, and it's arrived. The story of it was kind of a bummer, because the Etsy seller made with a yellow gold bezel instead of rose gold as I asked. But I've reconciled myself with the thought by now, and this is such a quizzical gem!

mariedtiger Ideal Rock Total Posts: 645 Last Post: 11/22/2009 Member Since: 9/23/2008	It's so much fun chasing the star. I feel like a little kid when I walk around, chasing the light, so I can see the star. In most lights it's really faint, but then suddenly it blazes. The stone's color deepened with the bezel, and it's just very lovely.
