Not bad at all Kismet, but I know that you know your stuff. 2 out of 4 correct. I need more guesses from the rest before I give out more hints.

Yes, I was looking for an asscher cut spess and bought one from All That Glitters. I was dissapointed that it wan''t a true asscher cut but it was very well cut nonetheless. It did have a brown tint otherwise I would have considered keeping it. After I returned the stone, another PSers purchased it. I''ve been keeping an eye out for another good spess since.

Nice try but no prizes for that one. Well, okay, a consolation prize for trying unlike Lorelei and SDL.

 

[chrono]

Skippy and Mercoledi are getting close.

Answers:
1. Type of gemstone: Spessartite
2. Final carat weight: ??? Keep guessing

3. Final shape (approximate): Ding ding! Cushion it is.

4. Who is the cutter: The now infamous Jeff White.

Here''s one last teaser for those who want a real challenge:
5. Country of origin

Don''t worry, LS, mine''s already done. He should be quite free to work on yours.

Whoppie! Another winner. You gals are GOOD.

Yes, it is a spessartite from the new Tanzanian find. Jeff White has cut a square cushion for me.

Let''s try to get the size right, and I''ll reward everyone with eye candy of the completed stone. So far, everyone''s guesses are too small Let''s try going above 3 carats. [Whams hammer] Let''s start the auction.

 

[LostSapphire]

I bid 4ct. Any larger would be, hmmm....mean and cruel?

 

[mercoledi]

Maybe she''s tossed us a red herring, 3.28?

 

[FrekeChild]

Um I''ll guess...

3.45cts

 

[zoebartlett]

hmmm...3.25?

 

[LostSapphire]

CHRONO:

Inquiring minds need to know!!!!

 

[Gem Lover]

I think you''ve teased us enough. Show us the goods, please?

Is it 3.65?

 

[LostSapphire]

CHRONO!!!!!
