LD - I loved your alexandrites

[Arkteia]

LD, I loved your alexandrites. Sometimes I would return to that post and look at them just to brighten my day. I hope it won''t be insolence on my part to ask you to post something equally bright and lovely? Some of your stones look like they belong in a museum, and I enjoy going to museums.

You should see her Paraibas!

and her colored diamonds (pink, champagne, green, blue, yellow, . . . )
her white diamonds
her rubies
her sapphires
her emeralds
her rubellites
her tanzanites
her other tourmalines
her spinels

Did I forget anything??

LD is like a gem museum curator!

No way!! I love looking at your beautiful collections!!

 

[LD]

I think that''s because we have similar taste TL - laying aside the rose gold issue of course

 

[chrono]

I don''t mind seeing more pictures of LD''s collection again.

 

[T L]

I think we should publish a book on LD''s collection!! I think she has more stones than are in the Tower of London - LOL!!

 

[Lovinggems]

I would love to see the Demantoids.

And all the other gems.

I do not really know. Maybe Paraibas? I have not seen any "live" Paraibas in my life.

 

[Arkteia]

Oh, yes - "and all the other gems" (LG, I am with you on it!)

Here''s a thread with some:

https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/is-this-what-a-paraiba-is-supposed-to-look-like.127011/ - I took some photos in this thread to show the neon glow that a good Cuprian/Paraiba Tourmaline will have even in shadow.

Oh my god...They are all awesome. They are all amazing. Stunning. Breathtaking. Well, when I am in a bad mood, I shall find this post and look at it. I think it will help me. I am not envious. You are not envious of a museum gem, are you? But you come back to enjoy the beauty.

I think your collection deserves publishing. And you are right, the one wigh a window is still amazing.

 

[Arkteia]

I, too, think that the one with diamonds on each side is absolutely stunning. Personally, one thing I do not mind are inclusion, in some cases they are even desirable since they prove the origin of the stone or make it unique. But what a collection! I attached my answer to one of your threads, but I don't know if it will get through (something is wrong with my computer) but have you ever considered publishing a book with reproductions of your stones? I think it will be sold in two days. Like a book with reproductions of famious paintings. I understand that these days people may be wary of undue attention, but believe that gem lovers should see that such beauty exists.

Thank you so much for sharing it with us! I think you deserve a lot of credit for putting in such time, effort and love into obtaining these beauties.
