I adopted Velvet Blue

[Avondale]

And I can't get a decent photo of it. This is the best I've managed so far:



I'll post more once I finally manage to get the trick to photographing this camera shy gem.

For now you'll have to believe me when I say this stone is the manifestation of all of my dreams and desires. It's a perfect treasure. A holy grail if there ever was one. I have been lucky enough to acquire some beautiful blue sapphires, but this one steals the show from all of them.

This photo is taken in relatively low light, in a curtained room, away from the window. Velvet Blue just leads the eye towards it.




I will be forever grateful to @Dr_Diesel for selecting me to be the custodian of this gem. I know many have mentioned in passing they'd love to buy it whenever it was posted before - I noticed every time, for I jealously wanted it, too. I don't doubt there would've been a queue from here to the moon for it, if it had made an appearance on the market. So I feel extra, particularly lucky right now.

Also,

(sorry not sorry)

This is such a dream of a stone!

What a gorgeous blue! And love ALL of your blue gems -- so beautiful!

Congrats! I love that it’s staying in the PS family and that you are its custodian. Can you tell us the specs? We don’t all have the inventory memorized ha ha like some of you colored stone folks do

Oh she's divine!! And I can't imagine her going to a better or more deserving home. Enjoy that beauty!

Velvet Blue stands out in some very tough company. That stone is a dream, so happy it's yours.

Velvet is a wonder. I look forward to her future accoutrements (assuming you set her.)
