Here are photos and 2 videos.





Thank you!

You put this on hold just to be safe, right?

I think the cut is really cool! Will it fit into a calibrated setting or does that matter to you? I like the color it shows in the second video better than the still photos or the first video. That's just personal preference though.

I’ve told Daniel I’ve posted about it here so I hope he won’t sell it to someone else. I might shoot him another message just to be sure!

Wouldn’t I look stupid if it sold just after I saw it happen to someone else!

He said he will hold it. He replies really quickly to messages. I like that!

I think its very pretty, and looks well saturated with out being too dark to me, but i'm no expert. I love the cut and shape. Good find!

Maisie, no expert here but I think it's beautiful! I love the rich color and it doesn't ever appear really dark to me. I adore the color of these umbalites and I just might need to get one for myself lol.

I forgot to reply to your other question. Daniel said it will be easy to find a setting to accommodate it.

What are the dimensions of the stone?
Ask about the indoor / outdoor colour shift

I think it is a very nice stone, as you know, I have also have put it on my collage, but it was not my favorit. I still find it very helpful to see a video of it in natural light, because it is easier to estimate, how the other stones are going to look.

He said:

the stone appears a more stronger red indoors with a more pinkish red in outdoor lighting.

The dimensions are:

7.40 x 5.4 mm

I didn’t realise you had been considering this one! You must have first choice! I can find another one!

I would double check that it will fit a standard setting since the depth is around 70%.

GREAT, let us know what you think of it when you get it. I am very curious about how you plan to set it.

It is going in a ring. Not sure on what style. I love the search!

@Maisie I hope all is well. Did you keep this stone? How did you set it?

I do still have it. Its very pretty. I don't know how I will set it. I am planning on setting my blue Zircon first. I'm about to send it to David Klass. I will probably send the Garnet to him at the same time =)2
