I think we already got our red. In the upper left corner, see?Well, I'm pretty struck by star stones! But when I went to sign up, someone had already taken Starstruck, so I added the 8. Here's the evidence... and I have more of them.
Here's a Citrine I cut back in 2017. Not for sale as it's long been gone. I used to like cutting Citrine, but it doesn't seem too popular, and haven't cut much of recently.
A pink lab sapphire pendant in yellow gold. Red is next up.
if anyone is waiting on yellow i can volunteer up some apricot for orange
we are not really surpossed to post pearls in this forum (i love these freshies so much) so i include this cameo that isnt old or even vintage or even retro, i don't even know what it is made out of, it was a gift and i used to wear it a lot when i wore botton up (down?) white shirts
it is 10k
if someone have something better in orange please post
.... or here comes yellow

Thank you! Haha I love that analogy! It *is* like dating. Unlike my first foray into emeralds, I am taking my sapphire purchase more seriously and with a bit more guidance from PSI was just going to say that it is a twilight! And they definitely have their place in the sapphire world. It's delightfully moody, which is really cool. And I love the cut. So, like you said, testing the waters with different colors (and even clarities - silky or crystal, etc.) is such a great way to figure out what you are drawn to and what to avoid. Sort of like dating!
That’s such a great idea! Alas, there was only one stone. He is selling another but it’s 0.8ct vs 1.24ct
I'll take purple - two large sugilite cabs I want to make into a pendant and ring. Here's the vendor's pic. He has large mitts... the stones look a lot bigger when I hold them.

Ooh good catch! I wasn’t even looking there on the color scale- I immediately went to twilight!
We’ll see if I eventually fall in love with this (or not). Just like dating. Hahaha
Sugilite is an incredibly saturated stone! And is has almost a gel-like translucency. I think it would be a fabulous stone for a men's ring... just sayin.
Talk about eye candy! So, I'll take the ruby, pink sapphire, and black sapphire, please and thank you. But they're all gorgeous!!
I'm assuming you mean the lower one in the above pic. It's a very unusual stone. As well as having a star, it reflects the world, but in soft focus, with a yellow tint, and upside down. How does this work? It has a layer of reflective 'starry' material at the base, while the front is transparent yellow. Again, far from trade ideal, but fascinating.

I am posting green and you know what that means — jadeite. This is a little heirloom piece. The gold is fine and soft. It bends easily. I was mortified when that happened. it is now back to its bell shape - more or less
The color is spring manifested into a gem.
You have certainly planted a seed. A low sugilite cab in a yellow gold gold bezel setting would make a great man's ring...
From what you have said before, I'm thinking you may like the black (strictly, dark brown) star sapphire in this pic. It's a Queenslander, like the yellow one below it. These sorts of star sapphire are pretty low in the trade hierarchy, but they are very wearable.

Oh my, a spy stone, great for gazing.
Thank you! I never tire of them eitherI will never tire of seeing your jadeite pieces!!
Gasp, I have to get one of those! “Impossibly” is right.Hmm since I mentioned turquoise, and we're on blue, this seems only fitting. A large cab of Sinai turq. It's impossibly blue in person with chocolatey brown matrix. PURPLE is up!
