Barry''s drop this week

[katiedid]

oooooooh I so hope I get a chance at the umbalite garnet Barry''s going to have listed this week... I bet I''m one of many who''s already interested in it huh????

 

[MakingTheGrade]

Haha, you may be in luck, I don''t think the umbalites have gotten snapped up quite as fast as some of the "sexier" picks like the malayas

I''m curious to see the blue spinel, too big for me I think, but curious to see it. Nothing in the drop is really calling to me to buy it though (which is a good thing for the wallet).

 

[cinnamon013]

I know the blue green tourmaline is going to be a beauty. I bet the umbalite is as well. If you miss the umbalite from Barry, check with Gene. He has some great umbalite material and will cut you one affordably!

And having just received 3 stones from Barry, I am really excited for the drop. Looks like some great stones. Too bad I''m all spent...

 

[katiedid]

Yeah, I can''t wait to see the new stuff. Don''t know that I''ll be able to afford any of them, but it''ll be fun to look!

 

[brandy_z28]

I''m super excited about the upcoming drop. Not sure anything in particular is calling to me at this point but I''m a bit impulsive... I''ve seen way too many pretty Barry stones recently. I can''t help but lust after one of my own.

They''re all so pretty!

Katie,
Sort by price when you look at it. That will help you identify the couple of rows of items that are in your budget. I will also say his stones are way more beautiful in person, so if you like the picture and the description speaks to you, then it is likely a beauty for you.

I tried to get that sapphire from him last week, but he wouldn''t let me have first crack at it. Boooooo!

I''ve actually moved on from that, and decided to send him on a wild goose chase for some other incredibly hard to find rough.

I''m wearing my Barry pink tourmaline right now and my sister CRIED when I gave her the Barry Peridot ring.

I would cry too if I got that peridot. It is so pretty. You are a very nice sister to give her such a lovely ring.

I saw the sapphire listed too. I don''t really like color changers though because I''m not a huge fan of purple :/

Hehe, good thing I have friday off!

 

[redfaerythinker]

I can''t wait to see the new stones. I will have to try and maintain control over my wallet. Well, maybe not too much control. That 5.8 tourmaline, may have to be mine...

I''ve seen a photo of this stone and it is pretty! He woudn''t sell it to me early though. It is a beauty.

 

[FrekeChild]

I''ve seen the spinel. It''s gorgeous...

 

[redfaerythinker]

Hey cinnamon- do you know how much he is charging for that tourmaline? It's the perfect size for my LOGR setting.

 

[Brown.Eyed.Girl]

ooh i''m tempted by one of the pink/peachy oval tourmalines. And maybe the citrine and/or golden beryl. Need happy summery stones.

 

[MissDayna]

I did try to sign up for the newsletter but I don''t think I did it right as I haven''t heard anything. So could anyone please tell me if there are going to be any blue/purple spinels or sapphires? I''m on the hunt for a bigger ering stone.

Thanks

Dayna

I do but I don''t think I should say. What''s your ballpark budget?

"A lavender/purple Umba sapphire which shifts to more of a blue color in natural light"

"largest blue spinel that I've cut in years, an 8.3mm round brilliant"

Ok, now go email him and ask to be added to the list!

 

[MissDayna]

Thank you so much! I''ve just mailed him asking to be added

I don't really have a budget. I've just been looking for a blue green tourmaline between 5.5 and 6.0 for a pendant I have. I just thought it might fit the bill.

 

[chrono]

I''m dying to see the conch pearl and moonstone.

 

[T L]

I can''t wait to see what everyone gets. Where''s Mochi and Yingh? They''re "Barry groupies" and they need to tell us what they''re getting.

Be sure to check it out. I think it is awesome.

Can''t wait to see what you ladies pick up! I''ll be at work WORKING, so no time to check with Barry. Oh well, I''m not an impulse buyer anyway.

 

[Brown.Eyed.Girl]

so bad news: i''m in montana for a wedding. And friday is the day before, and we''re going to be up and running from the morning so I might miss the drop. I did want the yellow beryl. Good news! Barry''s cutting one for me instead. Yay! Finally, my search for a sunny yellow stone can end

 

[redfaerythinker]

I may have to check out the drop from the fiance''s iphone... but i''m gonna be there!

Me too, I will be post call working. Our intern is out for a family emergency, so I doubt I will be getting out early enough to see his stones.

 

[DianaBanana]

Would anyone be willing to post a summary of what''s going to be on the drop? I''ve just registered on ACS so I''m not familiar with how it works....will we get an email when the new stones are listed or do you just continously stalk his site until they magically appear? I pretty much do that every day anyway!

 

[redfaerythinker]

Ok so I just checked and I am now SURE that I need that 5.8mm tourmaline. It is the almost perfect match size-wise for one of the tourmalines in my Barry set. And the other small stone in the set is a perfect fit for my LOGR pendant. It''s almost too perfect. If they''re anywhere close, color wise, i''m buying it. Just putting that out there

I don''t think it will match your set of three. More bluish less greenish. But I could be wrong.

DianaBanana,
Email him directly and ask him for the current newsletter. I'm betting he'd prefer for us not to list everything here.
