Another little pretty Mali Garnet by Barry

D&T Ideal Rock Total Posts: 7,501 Last Post: 11/24/2009 Member Since: 10/27/2008	If you didn't notice, I went on a little gem shopping spree from various cutters. So here is a little pretty one 6 mm Mali Grandite garnet 1.04 carat from the Keyes. It is a fireball, and the picture on Barry's site didn't do the stone justice imo. But IRL it is so sparkly, the color is yellow ish with a green tint. Barry actually has one more a sister to this in size 5.5mm its not on his site but it was up at one point since I was contemplating between the two. ETA:the stones don't have any inclusions to the naked eye, and it doesn't actually have those dark spots at all, the color is very uniform, but very hard to capture on camera. without further ado. I just love Barry's cut! First up, under incandescent lighting

Fly Girl Ideal Rock Total Posts: 3,769 Last Post: 11/24/2009 Member Since: 1/9/2007	Very nice. So glad you got that mali! I was kicking around perhaps purchasing both little malis to try to make earrings (I was arguing to myself that one earlobe is a tiny bit smaller than the other, so the different size stones would be fine), but I knew that if I waited some nice PSer would buy one and remove the temptation. Thank you so much, and looking forward to hand pics of your new pretty. **** Life is a Journey, not a Destination. ****

cinnamon013 Ideal Rock Total Posts: 1,681 Last Post: 9/9/2009 Member Since: 4/15/2007	It's awesome! It's like my chrysoberyl. I'll be interested to see what folks recommend for it as a setting since I've been tossing ideas about for my Barry yellow happy stone.

D&T Ideal Rock Total Posts: 7,501 Last Post: 11/24/2009 Member Since: 10/27/2008	Thanks Cinnamon, It's really hard to tell for this one on metal color. I put it next to my yellow gold ring, and it looks washed out like the color just clashed so not sure. I also saw a chrsyoberyl oval on his site, and that looked yummy too!

Chrono Ideal Rock Total Posts: 11,338 Last Post: 11/24/2009 Member Since: 4/22/2004	It looks like it prefers to be outdoors. Have you placed it next to a white metal setting to see if the colour is enhanced or if it brings out some undesireable undertone?

cinnamon013 Ideal Rock Total Posts: 1,681 Last Post: 9/9/2009 Member Since: 4/15/2007	If it is anything like my chrysoberyl (and Barry says it is), then its just the pictures that don't show liveliness. Indoors, it is likely a major sparkler too. The photos just can't keep up!

D&T Ideal Rock Total Posts: 7,501 Last Post: 11/24/2009 Member Since: 10/27/2008	Stepcut, Amguy, Icekid, cinnamon, mochi, and MZ- thanks guys, it is a lively little fellow, and now, I might just have to get a chrysoberyl too Chrono, I actually like it with white gold, I've been playing with a couple of my white gold pieces and it brings out a little more of the green, but the yellow gold, it sort of blends in even though it is sparkly, it has some green tint to it, it sort of clashes with yellow gold, the color isn't bold enough for a yellow gold setting imo. so White it is... Thanks everyone!

I think it'll work white gold actually brings more of the green tint, which I"m totally fine with.

He may be able to do something custom for you that would be somewhat less than WF or BGD or someone in that category. The quality of my ring from him is astoundingly good and I'm getting a quote from him to make a ring for my chrysoberyl as we speak.
