WOW, what a beauty!!! Stats please and where did you get it?

 

[Porridge]

Oh goodness it's beautiful, and fantastic photographs!

 

[ForteKitty]

pretty!!! is that the Gene spinel?

 

[baby nurse]

It's beautiful! I've got this one's "ugly" sister .

 

[minousbijoux]

I'd like to order some of those plants please

 

[VapidLapid]

Thank you Porridge!
Yes Forte this is the one from Gene last sunday. I did well the previous sunday too / !
Babynurse, given their family, even the ugly sister is an international glamourpuss!
Minous I wish I could get more of these plants too!
Brightice, it is a 1.18 mahenge spinel from Precisiongem. I think it is 5.8mm

Sorry they're not the best pictures of the stone. I got caught up in the styling and composition more. I will get better pictures of the stone's coloring later. Gene's picture was right on.

edit: but loading it to PS lost A LOT of the color and saturation just now. So the following picture is quite washed out .

HI:

Whoa!

cheers--Sharon

 

[baby nurse]

You're right, VL. I doubt there's an ugly duckling in the lot. I sure was tempted to get another after seeing yours, though!

I really enjoy your photography, especially those flower pics .

 

[bright ice]

It's a beauty for sure. I have got to start watching his site closer

 

[VapidLapid]

Ok these photos show the color more true, except for the dull flatness and brownishness that only got into the photos by the PS compression on upload. oh well.

 

[pregcurious]

Wow, it's glowing.

 

[Arkteia]

It will look gorgeous in yellow gold!

 

[arjunajane]

gorgeous gem and wonderful photos with the flowers, VL - very dramatic!

 

[JewelFreak]

Wow! That is one gorgeous mahenge, congratulations. Nice vinca too!

I agree that whenever I post any pictures on PS, the saturation of the picture takes a huge nosedive. Not sure what is going on there but it's something we all may have to live with for a long time. As for the stone, it looks very at home in the center of the flower.
