A tiny Spess volcano just for TL!

[LD]

TL - I blame you completely for this HUGE spend!

This Spess (1.06ct) caught my eye on Ebay and the colour looked too good to be true. I watched the auction and it wasn''t moving. Nobody loved my little Volcano.

So I decided to give it a home

It was a bit of shame because I had to spend A LOT of money! Yes, the mighty sum of .99cents!!!!!

Since I won the auction with no other bidders I wasn''t expecting (a) the gem to turn up! (b) the gem to be real (c) the gem to be nice. Luckily on all counts I was wrong and here she is ............ my melting volcano of loveliness!

She is ORANGE and looks deep orange in some lights with yellow hints and although there''s a slight brown undertone in daylight, at night it''s impossible to see and the volcano erupts! So here you are, pictures in different lighting conditions.

Erupting!

In a room with no light apart from what''s coming in at the window.

Sitting on my laptop lit from behind by the screen - no other lighting
