I recieved my champagne diamond, only to test it (scratch test with a sapphire) and find out it was not so much diamond. So I got my money back and bought a rebound stone.

It is a .93ct nigerian cuprian tourmaline. I should get it tomarrow or the next day as the seller is about 10 miles from me. She didnt want to do a drop of/pick up though...I tried LOL.

I love the color and dont have any nigerian material! The photos dont look tampered with and the seller seemed honest. I will of course post pics of my own asap!

I am also looking at an apatite. It just cought my eye and is calling me....if I buy it I will post pics of that as well LOL.

RH,
Sorry about the champagne diamonds, but the rebound stone is very nice!! I hope you two have a great relationship, being on the rebound that is.

Lovely color. Do post photos and your thoughts when you get it. TFS!!

RH,
If you did a scratch test with a sapphire and the “diamond” was damaged instead, wouldn’t the vendor have an excuse not to refund you money because the stone is now not in its original condition? Please use a diamond tester instead or something else rather than rely on a scratch test; this method always leaves me shuddering. The tourmaline looks to have good colour so I’m hoping it’ll turn out as pictured.

Used a princess cut lab sapphire and scratched the diamond with it rather easy. A sapphire shouldn''t scratch a diamond. I don''t have s tester so I do that test first before wasting my time and the stores time testing it.

I just filed a paypal complaint and recieved my money back within 2 days. The seller now had 3 fake diamond negs since I left my neg.
