[FrekeChild]

Oh shucks...My bad!!! I forgot to post a non blurry pic!! Darn!!!

 

[LostSapphire]

WOW!!!

Freke: that is beautiful. Help me out, I don''t know very much about coloured stones. What is it?

 

[FrekeChild]

I''ll post the pics and then the info. K?

Nice big fingerprint...

 

[LostSapphire]

Beautiful.

Yanno, it kind of matches your shoe!

LS

Keep posting: it''s my favourite colour.

 

[star sparkle]

Woohoo! I''m glad "we" picked that one, it''s GORGEOUS!!

 

[Harriet]

Amethyst? Otherwise, a really nice Kunzite?

 

[Miranda]

I''ll guess amethyst, too. It''s purty whatever it is!

 

[FrekeChild]

I know LS!!!That''s why I put it up in purple!!!

Here it is looking a bit bluish, and a tiny bit fuzzy...

 

[FrekeChild]

Having some technical difficulties...

Showing some light pink flash

 

[FrekeChild]

And the color change effect is has under different lights...to pinky purple...

 

[FrekeChild]

This is why I don''t have any outside shots...

 

[Miranda]

It''s beautiful. It appears to be glowing from the inside!

 

[FrekeChild]

And finally the vendor shot....

It''s raining at your house? You are lucky!!!! I love the rain! We''ve been having dreaded sunshine.

Spill lady! Whatcha got?

 

[FrekeChild]

STONE: Amethyst
WEIGHT: 3.95 cts.
CUT: Barion Square Brilliant
DIMENSIONS: 9.08 x 10.59 mm
ORIGIN: Nigeria
COLOR: Deeper Medium Purple
CLARITY: Excellent (Appears Flawless under 10x Magnification)


Cutter: Dan Stair


It's amazing, but SO HARD to capture on camera. Anyway...hope you enjoyed. Maybe tomorrow if there isn't a nasty thunderstorm, I'll get some shots in the sun. I have to admit that it's a bit darker than I wanted, but I love it and I'm not giving it up.

I'm excited!!!! I didn't have enough purple!!!

ETA: Miranda--we have massive thunderstorms every afternoon/night somewhere in the city, and today was our day to get it. And the clouds are still hanging out. That was taken during the worst part of it, when we had a bit of a flash flood situation going on in other areas around our complex.

Anyway! Enjoy the pics!!!

 

[Miranda]

What will you do with it?

 

[FrekeChild]

I was thinking a RHR. Probably a sleek modern solitaire. Maybe a brushed/matte finish. Something that allows it to be the star of the show. It sparkles like CRAZY. When I took it under the halogens it was like a small pile of glitter. Seriously seriously sparkly.

I was actively seeking a lavender cushion but I found this and couldn''t resist it.

What would you guys do with it?

 

[Indylady]

I love it!

 

[Miranda]

I was thinking solitaire when I saw it. it''s a good size for that.

Whoa...flash floods. That''s not so fun!

 

[Babyblue033]

I thought I recognized that stone! I was eyeing that particular one myself and was >this< close to pulling the trigger

I wasn''t sure how it would look in real life, so it''s a sparkler huh? It sounds just wonderful!

I say a sleek solitaire for that beauty.

 

[Catmom]

Freke, it's BEAUTIFUL!!!! Congratulations.

ETA: I LOVE Barney.

 

[Skippy123]

Oh beautiful stone!

It has been rainy here; you should see our flowers going crazy in the backyard!

 

[Linda W]

OMG!!! What a beautiful stone. It changes colors in the light too

. You little devil, holding out on us. You take great pictures. Come to my house and take pictures for me.

I can''t wait to see your beauty in the setting you choose. It is truly gorgeous.


Linda

 

[diamondfan]

I''d steal it from you when you weren''t looking.
