New stone - 2.02ct Rubellite (Precision Gem)
https://loupetroop.com/listings/loo...2-dot-02ct-rubellite-tourmaline-precision-gem

I bought this from another lovely PSer late last year. From original LT listing:
https://loupetroop.com/listings/loo...-02ct-rubellite-tourmaline-from-precision-gem
Origin: Nigeria
Dimensions: 7.67mm
Weight: 2.02ct
According to Genes rating scale: Colour 10, Clarity 7, Brilliance 5
Quote: "According to Gene, this rubellite is from some very old stock that you're just not seeing around anymore"

The listing photo shows it at its most red. In all lighting environments it is a rich and velvety red raspberry jewel tone. It's in "like new" condition - original owner did not set it, and I also did not set it. Inclusions are visible up close, but they aren't black - it's like the crystal decided to grow in different directions in some areas, and the real-world effect is to make the stone glow in a way that more transparent material simply can't. None of the inclusions/formations breach the surface.

$350 (what I paid)

It really really is! I wondered if you'd see this @elle_71125! :mrgreen2:

I just don’t know when - or if - I’ll set it, I’ve already got a pink stone bracelet and I don’t wear rings. It’s such a beautiful stone though - it isn’t really a hardship to hoard it! :mrgreen2:

i think that having too many stones to ever feasibly set is a common PSer problem. :lol:

Adding a pair of earrings I bought (preloved from LT) because they're adorable, but I've never worn them.

Vintage opal and paste studs:
https://loupetroop.com/listings/earrings/vintage-opal-and-paste-floral-studs

Baby opals are primarily blue and green. Paste stones are in good condition - they show surface wear, as expected, but no cracks/chips/breakage. Settings look original - unmarked but well made. My guess would be 9k RG, but I have not had them tested.

Asking what I paid: $175

I'm only a year late...
