I finally picked up the package from Gary this morning and I must say... THEY ARE LOVELY!! I love both of them... he does such a beautiful job. He also included a white zircon as a gift. Such a wonderful guy!

So here are alot of pictures for all of you!

And a sweet white tourmaline gift from Gary!

 

[mochi]

I think they are all very pretty and I love them. Thank you so much for looking!!

Wow - what a gorgeous zircon, and the color seems even more intense than it did on his website photo. Did you know you were getting such fabulous gifts with it? White tourmaline is pretty rare, and that assher zircon is stunning. I can't wait to receive my Afghan mint tourmaline this week.

Yikes.... its a white zircon, not tourmaline..me bad!! And the asscher is a aquamarine (maybe I shouldn''t have been dinking when posting these!). No, I didn''t know that he would be including a gift. It was a wonderful surprise!

Are you getting your tourmaline from Gary also? I can''t wait until you post it!!!

 

[T L]

Yes, I'm getting this one. I thought your assher had a bluish cast. Lovely, and the aqua asshers are so highly prized these days. That zircon is amazing, it looks like there's some violet in there as well. What are you planning on doing with it?

Ooh, will I sound really greedy if I say I''ve got to get me one of those?

Any chance you can post a photo so we can see the depth of the stone Mochi?

I haven''t concentrated on zircons much, but I think next year I should.

That zircon reminds me of the special "pnk tender" Australian pink diamonds that are the most coveted "for sale" stones in the world. However, they rarely come in sizes above a carat, and yours is 3 carats.

Gorgeous!

 

[mochi]

The aqua is a very nice light blue color that has a bit of greenish tint in certain lighting (I took it to work and WOW... it was completely different in color). I can''t seem to capture it with the camera, unfortunately and trying to take it right now without the sunlight is very difficult.

This is the back view of the aqua.

Back of the zircon..

 

[mochi]

Both of them together...

 

[mochi]

All together (the pink one is the tourmaline that I got from Dan... I will take a better picture of it tomorrow with natural light, it''s very shinny and beautifully cut).

 

[mochi]

I find this picture to be quite pretty...

 

[mochi]

Another odd picture but it''s pretty.

 

[mochi]

Oh TL, that mint tourmaline is just beautiful! I can''t wait for you to post some pictures.

I think I am going to set the red zircon into a pendant by WF. But it''s a project for next year, I''m afraid. The aqua, I''m thinking, will be bezel ring.

Great new photos. Your stones are all lovely. I got my spessartite today too. It is very pretty and sparkly. Have fun playing with your new pretties.
