''2.26 ct. This stone is a copper bearing Paraiba type tourmaline.''

Lori

Gene corrected the description.....she truly IS a yellow zircon: 3.69 ct. This zircon is cut in a 7 sided step cut, similar to an Asscher style but with one less side.

Lori I can''t wait to see your photos. I was really really really tempted by this Zircon - it looks amazing. Lucky you.

 

[Tuckins1]

Wow! It''s scrumptious!! Any thoughts on what you are going to do with it?

 

[mochi]

Lori...I was looking that that particular zircon for a few days. I was hoping someone from PS would get it. I''m so happy that you did. Please post alot of pictures!!

 

[T L]

That''s a brand new cut for Gene, so I hope you can post lots of pics. What an intriguing and beautiful stone.

 

[Catmom]

Wow, it looks like an amazing cut and I can''t wait to see lots more pics!

 

[cushioncutnut]

What a beauty! I can''t wait to see pics and how you set it!!

 

[innerkitten]

I love it. I''m looking forward to seeing your pictures. I have no zircons but would like one some day. I''ve seen several in person and the sparkle is amazing.

I was also eyeing that stone - hoping to get it for Valentine''s Day! Lucky girl .. I can''t wait to see pictures and see what you do with it!

Awesome stone!

 

[loriken214]

Thank you everyone! I just started chemo infusions and have been pretty wiped out lately....between that and my SLE lupus flaring like mad.

Anyway, I can''t wait to see this stone....she is very unusual and I will probably set her in a ring.....bezel....plain white gold? I would LOVE to have something set in green gold, but I don''t know if this one would work.

The package hasn''t arrived yet.

I owe y''all a bunch of photos and will get to it as soon as I can.....finally have my new camera...YAY!

It''s a beautiful stone.
Hope your treatments are going well and you don''t have yucky side effects. My mother is going through similar.

 

[AprilBaby]

That is REALLY REALLY lovely! I hope you are feeling better!

 

[marcy]

Wow, that is gorgeous.

 

[Brown.Eyed.Girl]

Aw Loriken, I hope you feel better soon! And the zircon is beautiful!!!

 

[Lisa Loves Shiny]

This cut reminds me of a hall of mirrors. I absolutely love i!!!!!!

 

[loriken214]

She came today and WOW does she sparkle.....I''ll figure out a way to take a photo ASAP!

I''m super tired and get nauseated after I eat, but am hanging in there. They say I''ll lose my hair at some point, but friends/family have lots of hats lined up for me.

Awwwww Lori, fantastic news that your new beauty has the WOW factor! I can''t wait to see photos.

However, it''s more important that your rest up and concentrate on getting yourself well. I hope the side effects wear off soon hun and you''re feeling more back to normal quickly.

 

[MommaChristine]

I just realized that you replied to what I posted! Don''t feel bad AT ALL!!! I''m excited that someone from PS got it so I can see pictures! Have you taken any because if you did I completely missed it!

I hope that you feel better soon!

 

[T L]

That''s a beautiful stone Lori, I hope you rest up and take care of yourself.

 

[mochi]

Oh Lori, take good care of yourself... feel better soon.

 

[LtlFirecracker]

Beautiful stone, can''t wait to see pics, but wait until you have the energy.

I had no idea you are on chemo. I hope it goes well for you. I am glad to hear you have a good support system.

 

[marcy]

Wow, that is gorgeous.

 

[Kelli]

NICE!!

 

[geckodani]

Oooooh! I can''t wait to see it!

Hi Lori, I know you aren''t really able to take photos - but I would love to hear your thoughts/feelings on your zircon?
I am currently looking for a golden/yellow gem and this is one of the types that Gene offered me - do you like yours? Is it more yellow or green?
And do you have any ideas on setting it?

Thanks I look forward to your response
