For something different in orange, here’s my Mexican Fire Opal from Barry B.

I was so hoping to see some fire opal... and it's stunning!!

Yellow sapphire

This is a particularly beautiful yellow sapphire, my friend. And big!

Mum's '80s emerald flower i didn't even have to fight my sister for

I love anything with a floral design... and this piece holds special meaning for you, I'm sure.

Blue topaz

You don't often see this stone set in a yellow metal, but I really enjoy the contrast! So rich...

Purple: umbalite

Oh my goodness... that photo amongst the flowers. I CAN'T.

Pink star sapphire

Girl, you're killing me!

 

[Autumn in New England]

Just a wee cheapie garnet braclete i brought the norning of Melanie's funeral last year
I wear it her in her memory

Another sentimental piece... I just adore that so many of your pieces are close to your heart. Lovely!

Orange:

Yes, please! In addition to having such an incredible eye for gems, you are such a great photographer!!

Yellow: Chrysoberyls

One of my favorites, and we hadn't seen them yet! Thank you!!

Skip:

Dark blue spinels in overcast low lights.

Glorious!!

Blue indigo and violet confuse me
tanzanite

Lovely!!

 

[Autumn in New England]

We are right back at the first rainbow colour: red.
Who plays orange?

Is this beauty a spinel? LOVE!!

Don't know

Maybe an orange-leaning citrine? Nice!!

Orange Carnelian

I can't imagine a more perfect carnelian... seriously.

Precision Gem Yellow
Who plays green?

That cut is mesmerizing! (And thank you for helping keep the game going with your prompts, my friend!!)

My first post! A green tourmaline from shinypreciousgems on reddit

Oh welcome to the forum, sweetie!! And what an awesome first post... beautiful!

Blue! Who plays Indigo?

Annnnnnd I've just collapsed from a gemgasm.

Tanzanite

Tanzies and cluster setting never get old... love!

 

[Autumn in New England]

Phew, you guys are awesome! I'm going to try to stop commenting on every single post, since I'm clogging up the thread. Just know I love and appreciate the beauty of each and every single one!!

Thank you for this! Yes, we're going in this order. For "indigo," we're doing any variation of purple. And for "violet," let's stick with pinks, just because there are so many gorgeous pink gems out there!

So:

RED
ORANGE
YELLOW
GREEN
BLUE
PURPLE
PINK
Then back to RED and so on!

 

[Autumn in New England]

Yellow danburite... I returned the kite shaped one from earlier in this thread. Already had this one and felt the other wasn't as nice. Ah well!

7.98ct. quantum cut.



GREEN is next!!

 

[Autumn in New England]

Is that chrysoberyl or mali garnet, @Atwater? Exquisite! As is that sapphire... we had fun helping choose your setting, I recall!!

I love that you included malachite, @thirdrock! And Mediterranean coral, @Acinom!!

 

[Autumn in New England]

Figured I might as well add a green too...

2 ct. Colombian emerald, AGL minor oil



BLUE is next! Then purple, then pink, then back to red!!
