I thought I'd post some pics of my latest eBay stone that I actually really like! I think I've decided for sure that I really do want a light/medium saturated stone for my e-ring, and can focus on finding THE stone now, rather than finding a range of inexpensive stones that appeal to me to determine the colour I like.
I paid $11 in total (stone and shipping) for this lovely little oval, and was quite pleased with Duos-n-Gemstone who I bought it from. It's 1.61ct, 7.8 x 6.4 x 4.5 and was described as a VS silver purple. It's usually somewhere between a lavender and a slightly purple-y pink depending on the light, and I like it a lot! I may set it into a small ring for my mother, since she also quite liked it. Any setting suggestions are welcome![Smile2 :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
I'll start with the vendor photo:
The stone is usually more purple to my eye than the colour in the listing:
(I found my toothpaste cap works quite well for holding the stone
)
The colour I see most often:
