OK, guys and gals - I just placed the order for a chunk of rough big enough to open up a small jewelry store. Thanks to those who responded.
That’s awesome. Do you know who you’ll have cut it?
I cants wait to see all the PSers with this gorgeous paraiba colored yag.
Yes, from my understanding RusGems has a standing listing on there and when you purchase it they just ship a piece directly from Russia, so it's going to take a couple of weeks to arrive.I’m curious too. There’s another listing for the same item. For the time being, I’ll live vicariously through the group that purchased it, and maybe snatch up a piece of it for myself if they turn out as gorgeous as I think they will.
Extreeemely reasonable! Least expensive I've come across so far, but I have a feeling that may change as he gets busy with this paraiba.
Gene dropped these babies recently. Did anyone manage to snag them?
Two paraiba colored YAG and one pad colored lab sapphire.
I so wish I got this one but it had already sold.
Me too!
Gorgeous! I'm such a sucker for cushions, I would love that YAG. I hope a PSer got all of them so we can drool some more!
Me too!
I love that cushion YAG too but it was already sold by the time I saw it and because I literally just bought a round paraiba colored YAG from him.
Oh, I definitely missed out on the original round. Gene kindly agreed to cut me a new one. It’s a little smaller at 7.73mm but who cares? I’m very excited to see it in person.
Just kidding, but what did you think YAG was? *wink* Unfortunately, a Paraiba colored stone of that size is out of many of our price ranges and a synthetic stone is about the only practical way of getting that color.
Well, if it makes you feel any better yag is one of the nicest artificial stones there is, so put it in a setting and enjoy it. Someone ask what it is just tell him it's yag and they are to not know that it is not something exotic. LOL
Please say someone here bought this. I love it and I really want to see how these are translating to a real world environment.
Lab pad sapphire from Genes latest drop.
Wanted to do a nicer shot of the spinel I got from Scott Laborie. Its still crap compared to the much better ones you guys post up here but it's much better than the last one I took lmao.
Thank you! And it is perfect. I love this little sucker so muchGorgeous! I wouldn’t consider that a crap picture at all. It looks elegant to me and I think you did a great job capturing the details.
That’s the perfect blue btw.
especially when its cloudy like today.

Gorgeous stone! Beautiful colour and cut. I really enjoy that slight steeliness in spinel in a way that I don't with sapphires. Why does the list of things I want keep getting longer despite buying things?
I’ll admit to a touch of jealousy that you got that cushion. I love a good cushion cut.
I’m waiting on a round right now. Should be here within a day or two.
I hope that even though it’s not a natural gem, you end up loving it. Because that color...damn!
Wow, I'm in looove with this gem, it seriously glows in every light. I've stacked it upside down onto an existing ring to see what it looks like in a halo but not sure how it will be set. Gene is a magician!
His cutting is definitely amazing!Is that the paraiba YAG?
