There were some pretty stones dropped on Dana's site this weekend. Did anyone here get that trillion minty tourmaline? Or the pink spinel? I tried for the minty garnet but I'm not sure I got it in time.
I was thisclose to pulling the trigger on that pink spinel - even showed it to hubs. But the squoval shape made me sleep on it and it was gone in the AM. Besides I got a gem from each of his last two sales so I need to start practicing self control
Dana is the just nicest guy and I love buying gems from him
I never get his newsletters (even though I've signed up). I've only managed to snag 1 stone, but that was because it was listed under a different section than expected.
That looks like a sphene since it's showing rainbows. Tourmaline doesn't do that, so if anyone got that stone, I would just double check. It could have been an innocent mistake in the listing.
Oh my, that sphene...if I'd seen that in time, I'd have gone for it too. It looks like everything I've been wanting in a sphene. Color me jealous . Congrats!!
I think I just answered my own question about the spinel drop for a friend.
For some reason, I'm drawn to really saturated stones. This indicolite under most recent cut is calling my name: http://mastercutgems.com/index.php?page=viewgem&id=7683
