@ItsJustAnt I love when folks show raw crystals and specimens here. I had no idea spess grew with smoky quartz as a host. I had to look it up just now. Let's just set it as-is in a giant pendant.
So cool... thanks for sharing! Good to see you on our "porch!!"

Hmm... I'll take yellow this round since I just purchased these guys yesterday. 1ctw. fancy intense yellow diamonds. One is VVS2 and the other is SI1... I hope the difference in clarity isn't apparent in person. Anyway! GREEN is up!!

I was wondering if someone would catch that! Actually, I have tentatively decided to go with a toi et moi using a soft peachy-orange oval elbaite. (The emerald orange sapphire I showed in my other thread ended being quite drab in natural daylight, unfortunately.) I feel like this sort of gentle guava color brings out the best in the periwinkle of all the shades I was considering. I'm not 100% certain that this will be the final choice, but that's where I'm leaning.
Thanks for asking!!I bought the pair of yellow diamonds to do a 3-stone ring with this purple garnet. I figured I could go more intense with the yellow color since this stone is so saturated (but not overly dark)! What do you think?

Is that malachite drusy? Get out! I had no idea it existed. Did you know malachite is one of my favorite green stones?

Sorry to disappoint you, but I don't think it is.
It looks like plain regular rock to me. But I agree with you, malachite green is out of this world.

It's beautimous nonetheless... I will have to share a few of my malachite pieces at some point. They're just set in sterling, but I love them so much. Another related gem I adore? Azurmalachite.

Ooh both those pairings sound yummy - I can't wait to see the final products!
This purple with the intense yellow will be amazing (and no, I am not a Lakers fan
)!

Same! And for the record, I'm not a Vikings fan either!!
Hopefully these guys work out. I'm trying to be a bit more adventurous with my color combos, as you can see! I have a few others planned too. My tendency is to pair everything with white diamonds. And I love that look, but just not for every single ring. Anyway, thanks!

Lol!
Re: pairings- you’ll never know unless you try! I’m sure what ever you end up doing will look spectacular- you have a great eye

@Autumn in New England I think it would look regal! Quite an appropriate pairing for royal purple garnet? We shall have to call you Your Majesty
www.history.com
Is the stone from Antony of Raregemstone Co?
Why is Purple Considered the Color of Royalty? | HISTORY
The original dye was prized because of supply and demand: It came from the mucous of an exceedingly rare sea snail shell.

@VividRed So pretty!! Will you set this?I don’t know what’s next but I want to share this one again
It’s my little Burmese neon red pear. In incandescent it’s the best red I can imagine, in direct sunlight (like this picture) it shows some pink and wild glow.

@Daisys and Diamonds, I have an ostrich egg from South Africa too but alas, no gem tree. Since we are in a crystal mood, let me post some blue and greenish-blue crystals - aragonite. Purple is next.

Maybe one day, but not for me (I’m male and don’t see myself wearing jewelry other than my wedding band…yet, lol). I might set it for my daughter when she is old enough - she is three now so all she can play with is a 35ct synthetic ruby I purchased before she was born. She does not miss one chance to remind me that hers is MUCH BIGGER than mine
