I do love them in all sincerity - I think they are very beautiful. A friend of mine thinks you are putting me on b/c he hates them. Don't spare my feelings - tell me what you think. Beauty is a subjective thing.
Rosebloom|1360546442|3377074 said:Well for me they are more of a novelty stone. I wouldn't spend big bucks for the stone or setting unless it was a spectacular combination of colors - like the perfect pink and purple swirl. But for ones like you listed I think they'd make a fun DBTY style bracelet or inexpensive solitaire ring.

Yes, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so true. They certainly appeal to me so I can say in all honesty, I am REALLY enjoying your finds!! no joke, that's the truth! happy to keep viewing them!

While I think they are interesting inclusion/novelty gems....what I dont like is that the first stone is almost $500 and the second one is almost $900. While they are large, I personally found it appalling that a vendor would charge $500 for a stone that is a)loaded with rutile inclusions and B)translucent to the point of almost being opaque. The second gem...this is almost $900 and while I also believe that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, I have a problem with vendors selling mediocre quality gemstones for astronomical prices.
Thats my opinion.....
...carry on!

I like the one at the link above unless it would look gray IRL. That company used to have a blue and yellow one that I liked too.
I would definitely wear a bi-color stone if the quality was there.

Seriously? $50 and $90 would be pushing it! Dearie me!
