colormyworld Ideal Rock Total Posts: 954 Last Post: 10/27/2009 Member Since: 8/30/2005	I think some posters like color change stones as much as I do. Just thought I would post some pictures of a cc garnet I have. When I first joined the forum this was the first stone I posted. I have been meaning to take some more pictures but never got around to it. Until this evening. All were taken under mixed lighting to bring out both colors. No enhancement to the photos required. If I were to change anything the only thig I could do to make the stone appear as I see it is to make a little more green as the blue in the picture is more of a teal color. I don't know why the camera won't pick up the green very well. I often have trouble getting green stones to appear as they do IRL.

Wouldn't that be a nice "trick or treat" to receive??? D...it is gorgeous! Me thinks you captured the green quite nicely. It is extremely hard to capture the true beauty of a gemstone. I vote for some outdoor pics of that future primitive beauty!!!!LOL!!!!

colormyworld Ideal Rock Total Posts: 954 Last Post: 10/27/2009 Member Since: 8/30/2005	Harriet, the stone is in the mail. It should arrive sometime in April. Cushioncutnut, When ever I take a picture outside in natural light all I get for color is a terrible brown hue. Even though I am seeing green with my eyes. Go figure.

colormyworld Ideal Rock Total Posts: 954 Last Post: 10/27/2009 Member Since: 8/30/2005	While not the same stone. This is another cc garnet. No where near the quality of they other. Unless you are going on the better cutting. Anyways this is a good image of what the color photographs like in natural light. Even though I see green IRL. This stone changes from a pretty good reddish straw color to a greenish straw color. Is straw a color??? LOL

They are very rare as they are colored by vanadium. They CC is kind of weak in most of them but a few have a decent change from greyish green to reddish purple.

PrecisionGem Cut Rock Total Posts: 477 Last Post: 11/23/2009 Member Since: 7/28/2004	colormyworld, Nice looking stone. I always buy colorchange garnets when I see nice ones. I'm surprised to see you may re-cut it! I thought you liked that type of cutting. Gene www.precisiongem.com

colormyworld Ideal Rock Total Posts: 954 Last Post: 10/27/2009 Member Since: 8/30/2005	Thanks Gene. Don't get me wrong. I like light return. I just don't like to see it all at once. I would rather see a "lively" step cut with some depth and maybe a little belly so it does not window at the slightest tilt from 90 degrees while looking through the table. I would rather watch the steps dance with color as the stone tilts instead of the light disappering into a window. Colored gemstones (for me at least) do not have to be cut to the exacting standards of diamonds andi In many cases even better than a lot of diamonds.
