I recently purchased a 3 1/2 carat (9.5mm), precision cut, round dark pink tourmaline... It was a sleepy stone, a mauve/pink with beautiful flashes of hot pink. I bought it because it was my brother's birthstone and this August is the ten year anniversary of his passing (at age 20). Well, I fell in love with the gem because it was somewhat mysterious too. I made arrangements to send it along to DanielM for a custom setting. I was just getting ready to package it for mailing and thought, "maybe I'll take a photo first, since it'll be gone for about four weeks". Bad idea. I stepped out onto my back porch to take a picture in the sunlight.... and it rolled off my hand, bounced off the porch and landed God knows where... I spent about an hour combing the grass for it... Nothing. I'm just so sick I could cry....
So, please...pleaaaase....if anyone sees a nice round pink tourmaline/rubellite out there... let me know? Post a link? I want to proceed with my project as soon as possible, since I've already paid the deposit on the setting. I'm afraid I won't find one I love quite as much...but I'm going to look anyway....
