Gene's newest stones (precision gem)

I am the buyer of the Rhodolite Garnet from Gene’s drop two weekends ago. It’s really a beautifully cut stone with a lovely high crown; however, it does appear to have more purple than was expected per the description for it to my eyes, thought not quite as much as my camera seems to capture. I considered sending it back, as I was really looking for/expecting a good, crimson red color, but my daughter convinced me to hang onto it, as she loves it and said she wanted it if I didn’t, so it’s in my safe for the time being. But I wanted to be a good PSer and share pics, so HYG! :wavey:

Beautiful garnet. :love: It might not be the red you were looking for but it sure is pretty. :P2
 
What a pretty stone! I always find it helpful when buyerspost their photos of the stone vs vendor pics
 
My spinel came in and it’s beautiful! It looks more pink than I was expecting but it’s a gorgeous color nonetheless. :love:
I’m actually spending it back but only because it’s the same color as a larger mahenge I already own. So, if you were interested in owning this beauty, you have a second chance. Send an email over to Gene. :mrgreen2:

Wow they really are the same color!
 
Everyone else beat me to it already...by the time I looked, they were all sold. My inner gem hoarder feels like :cry2:, but my wiser financially responsible self feels :mrgreen2:.

All the garnets are gorgeous, but my favorites are the Merelani mint green and the pyrope garnets.
 
I hope whoever got the mahenge garnet posts pictures once they get it. It looks gorgeous!

They went so fast yesterday! Even faster than usual imo. :shock: They were all pretty affordable gems so that probably had a lot to do with it. :D Sorry you missed out but I bet your bank account is doing a happy dance. Lol

I tried for the mint garnet. Last year I got a tsav from Gene that I freaking love so when I saw that mint I was all over it. Fingers crossed. :mrgreen2:

Agreed! That garnet looks stunning! :love:
 
I found his email 4 minutes after it landed and three of the gems were already sold, LOL. Garnets are lovely!
 
Here’s my new mint garnet. It’s so hard to get an accurate pic of the color but it’s very bright and a gorgeous green. :mrgreen2:

it's absolutely stunning! Such a glow!
 
I’m pretty sure I bought the lab emerald.

Congrats! You’re gonna love it! I have a cushion shaped one from him and the color is gorgeous. :mrgreen2:
 
WOW! I was never really into yellow stones but that Montanta sapphire :love::love::love::love: Like the sun in your hands! I wish I got to it first!!!!

We need to hunt down whoever bought that and force out some pictures!
 
The cutting on that sunny sapphire is really pretty too! And I wish we could see more of that color sphene. Superb!
 
Haha... I just looked at lab emerald a few minutes after the email came. “How pretty!” “SOLD” “Drats.”
