Love it! I would rather have a handful of nice clean rough diamonds then cut anday of the week. Very beautiful!

 

[ooo~Shiney!]

Aw, the little fellows! So cute and shiney!
I kind of like them

(your diamond budget is way bigger than mine! )

Your "Dingy Diamonds" are beautiful, VL! And your pictures are a pleasure to look at-- so creative!

This thread title cracked me up. I love your octahedrons, and I think they would look cool in a piece of jewelry, uncut.

I love these and wonderful pics too.

LOVE these!

Natural diamond crystals are an absolute favorite of mine! And these are especially high quality, quite amazing.

I think they show the beauty and miracles that only nature can create. Man can only gild the lily, he can't create it.

I love the octahedrons especially. This sounds pretty hokey, but in my mind, they are straight from the hand of God (or Jehovah, or Allah, or whatever your particular name for her is).

I noticed that James Meyer had a ring made with a natural diamond crystal, and personally, it was my favorite of all his pieces. I also admire the rough, round, pebble diamonds. I don't know what they're called, but they're cool too.

You should make a pendent with one of the crystals (completely uncut), VL, it would be a natural treasure!

Thank you all for chiming in and being so nice.
The octahedrons are from Siberia!

Vapid I love your collection and I love your photos. My fav is the one with the measuring spoons. Dingy..... I think not.

 

[chrono]

The octahedrons are my favourite too! Not dingy at all and I love your artistic photography.

Um, get out of here with the plain & dingy - gorgeous is more like it. I love rough stones & crystals. The real deal.

I have a small brown rough diamond ring, love it. It still has a shine, in some directions, that only a diamond can pull off.

 

[Lovinggems]

Love your photos, and your diamonds.

VL: you crack me up! I'll take your plain, dingy diamonds any day...now where's the pug shot, or has an errant meatloaf come along recently?
