WoW! Just saw a 1.27 F-SI2 that made my heart beat faster. The cert stated strong blue so I walked it outside into the bright cloudless sunlight of a very cold Boise Winter Day.
In the shade the stone took on a deep bottomless pool look that was stunning, almost like holding air that had some sparkly facets. When I took it into the sunlight the stone came alive with a blaze of sparkles but the body of the stone was now a mystical pale almost blue.
Sigh, it was gorgeous! It is what the old timer''s meant when they talked about a blue white, those colorless stones that became bluish out of doors.
It''s gone now, but for a few minutes I got to share it and enjoy the beauty of it. It reminds me why in the old days that we used to charge a premium for such a stone. But that was before the investment silliness, back when stones were bought for beauty, not for the paper. I have been walking around all afternoon humming the tune of "gimme that old time religion" but using the word fluorescence instead of religion.
