lovegem Cut Rock Total Posts: 387 Last Post: 11/23/2009 Member Since: 12/26/2007	I have been lurking around this forum for sometime and was referred to the natural sapphire company from other people's posts. I really enjoy looking at their sapphires. I found one that I like too, but I am not certain whether it is a good price or whether it is a good stone. If someone can give me an idea that would be great. Thanks in advance. http://www.thenaturalsapphirecompany.com/Sapphires/Padparadscha/Cushion/stoneid=PA128

Is that the black thing or the whitish pink in the center of the stone? I have never seen the wold "window" used to describe a diamond's cutting. Linda W., is your stone a pad. sapphire? It is a very beautiful stone.

I purchased it from the natural sapphire company 2 years ago. It is 2.25 LInda ******************************** "Life is what happens to you, while you are busy making other plans". John Lennon
