Oooooh I love that chryso!! Really nice cutting, color and luster.

Are you sure Tan didn't send you a yellow diamond?? :naughty:


Thanks PR,
It actually has some rainbow dispersion in some lighting, reminding me of a diamond, but it isn't. I wish!!

TL, I finally bit the bullet and bought one of Tan's chrysos. It's not neon yellow like yours but I'm hoping I'll like it in person. It's 3.34 cts. :naughty:

I have been aching for a heliodore or similar - this baby is just supergorgeous! More pictures please :lickout:

Thanks Natsplat!

Heliodors are sometimes irradiated to get them to this color, and the treatment is not detectable. I would opt for chrysoberyl, since as far as I know, it's a non-treated stone, all natural in color, and the big plus is it's the third hardest gem (after diamond and sapphire).

:oops: I fell for the lure of the heliodore! :oops:

Barry's August sale price, his amazing cutting (as ever!), plus the promise that it is "top colour for yellow beryl" sucked me in.



If mine performs even half as well as yours, I shall be over the moon :twirl:

That's pretty lemony yellow for a chrysoberyl and the light return is amazing. :bigsmile: Geez, what would I give for a round yellow chrysoberyl like that!

Natsplat, I love the buttery yellow color of that chryso!! I can't wait to see more pics. :naughty:

Chrono, would you be willing to give a 5+ carat red pear spinel? Or perhaps a 5+ carat fanta cushion spess? :naughty:

PR,
Thanks again, looking forward to seeing your chrysoberyl.

Natsplat,
Thanks, also looking forward to seeing your heliodor.

Chrono,
Thank you!! I would love to have your kryptonite colored trillion.

ZesfullyBling,
Thank you!!

I just got this one in the mail on Monday. It's 2 carats, and although the color is not as saturated as the round, it is very bright and also well cut, and I won it on auction for a very low price. :bigsmile: I love the high crown and well done Portuguese faceting.
