Barry''s May Drop

[cinnamon013]

It looks like the drop is a little late this morning. I can''t yet see it. Can you tell I''m impatient?!

I look foward to seeing what everyone likes and who got what!

Now...back to refresh, refresh, refresh...

 

[Linda W]

It won''t show up for another half hour. It is only 9:20 a.m. California time.

 

[karee888]

i thought 10am arizona time = 11am iowa time. it opened at 11 last time for me...

 

[Icce]

They don''t have daylight saving time I think, that is why for you and me, since last month it was an extra hour difference. I use to see it at 12 but now it comes at 1. hope that helps

 

[cinnamon013]

Silly me. I am in MDT here in Colorado and he is in MST since Arizona doesn''t observe daylight savings time. 30 minutes more of waiting!

 

[FrekeChild]

Yeah I'm on MST (8 hour drive) and he's an hour ahead of me. Stupid Arizona and not doing Daylight Savings...

What are you going for Cinnamon?

 

[mochi]

I''m waiting too...took the day off to spend time with all you!!

Well I''ve spent a lot recently and I''m finally setting a few things, so I should say I''m just window shopping. But...if the price is right on a couple of items, I have 4 items from the list on my "look and decide fast" list.

Since I have a very conservation DH, I have to be careful about how much I spend or he gets a little grumpy!

 

[loriken214]

I''m here, too! DH just left to run some errands......

[Linda W]

Tell him to hurry up and open shop.

LOL, I''m chuckling a bit at this thread...does this mean you are all in a bit of a competition to see who has the fastest trigger finger??? Doesn''t seem like there''ll be a lot of time to peruse and mull, does there?

Well I am a peruse and mull kind of person. But after buying 3 of his stones, I''ve learned to trust his description. So one day a month I *might* be a bit impulsive...!

 

[Linda W]

Not me T-Gal ha ha ha. I just like to see what he has. I haven''t bought anything from him.

 

[E B]

I don't know if what I'm looking at is part of the new drop, but that 1.3 ct. Umba Sapphire is

 

[cinnamon013]

Well, my previous 3 weren''t purchased on the day of the drop. I bought the little sparkler tourm after it sat on the drop site for more than a week. After receiving it and seeing how pretty it was, I emailed him to locate 2 gems for me for the Dolphins project. He managed to find two that worked perfectly and so I bought those.

But I''ve joined in at drop time since Feb and have completely enjoyed seeing all of the pretties.

 

[FrekeChild]

Its up. And that sapphire is GORGEOUS!!!!

 

[Lady_Disdain]

I like the Michael E sunstone a lot. But it is out of my fun money budget and I am not willing to dip into gem budget yet (yes, my bookkeeping is very complicated!) so nothing for me.

 

[karee888]

ok, what did everyone get?

 

[choyoyo]

Whoa, who bought the umba sapphire? It''s already sold!!

 

[LaurenThePartier]

Unfortunately, nothing for me this time around. I''m hoarding my pennies for a 2 ct. cushion-ey red spinel.

I LOVE that sapphire . . . I want to know who got it! The Malaya, too! Post tons of pics because I''m living vicariously these days!

 

[cinnamon013]

I just got a small priced item but I am thrilled!

 

[FrekeChild]

What did you get cinnamon?

 

[T L]

You ladies are trigger fingers. Enjoy your beautiful Barry purchases.

 

[chrono]

Yes, it''s up, but nothing caught my fancy today. Maybe next time.

 

[cinnamon013]

Introducing my first ever cabochon! Such a sweet thing!

Per Barry:
Strawberry Quartz
5.76 cts
11.0mm round cabochon
Strawberry quartz is simply fascinating, especially when the hematite inclusions have such a great red color. Flawless at 10x.

 

[mochi]

cinammon!! so pretty!!

 

[MakingTheGrade]

Yikes! I am only 15 minutes late to the party and already almost everything new is snapped up!! No Barry stone for me this month, lol.
Spill, who got what?

I hope Katie was quick enough to get the Umba garnet.

Thanks mochi!

Did you get anything? There were several affordable rounds in great colors.

 

[loriken214]

I got this little pretty. 1.41 ct. 7.0mm round brilliant

This tourmaline from Mozambique shifts from a slightly orangish pink to an orangish gold color, and is flawless at 10x.
