A few new sparklies :)

[stepcutnut]

First one is Barry''s round Chrome Tourmaline-it just glows Tough to capture in photos and resizing is taking a while to bare with me!

Indicolite from Gene-this one is just to show color Sorry for the fuzz!

 

[stepcutnut]

Moonstone from Barry

 

[stepcutnut]

The inclusions don''t bother me IRL!

Spinel from Dan I can't really capture the true color of this one-all my pics turned out really dark

Wow, you''ve been busy! They''re all beautiful but I especially love the moonstone. Is that the setting that the green tourmaline is going into? If so, it''s beautiful!

 

[stepcutnut]

Cabo del Gato Tourmaline from Barry-I haven''t been able to capture it''s true color yet!

OMG I am in love with this color! I have been keeping an eye out for a stone that exact shade. So pretty!

 

[stepcutnut]

The Chrome IRL almost glows and is candy apple green(deeper and brighter than the pic) and the Cabo is very moody, changes from a med. pink to a peach pink to a pinkish peach all with lavender flashes(not brown like the pic).

 

[stepcutnut]

Blue Green Tourmaline family I don't know how to change my photpgraphing style, all the colors are so subdued in the photo and really off---any suggestions?

Thanks!

The moonstone is lovely and I am planning on bezeling it in with some long slender baguette side

If I keep the Chrome, I think that it will be put into that setting. The cutlet on the Chrome is darker than the rest of the stone and out of the setting it bothers me, cannot see it much in the setting-so that is my only hold back on that stone!

The color is gorgeous in real life and the inclusions are barely visible, I glad I decided to give this one a try

LD-it is really a looker and just glows, Barry''s cut really made this one POP---just wish it were larger!

 

[stepcutnut]

Any suggestions for getting more real life color in the photos???

Like the blue spinel, they just look black!!!

The moonstone is beautiful and I love the Namibian! Wow!

SCN,
Wow, you have amassed some very nicely cut stones. I particularly like the Namibian indicolite tourmaline from Barry. It''s a nice bright color. It''s typically very difficult to find indicolite that is bright and doesn''t go extinct.
