@Bron357 You told me about this site months ago! Do any of those opals look good to you? I have been wanting a vibrant, magical opal! :whistle:

I’ve only bought a spinel from SedaGems. It was just as advertised. I live in the U.S. and the shipping didn’t take that long.

I decided to go for it. This one was $200 after the discount, and I liked the colors.... not too dark nor too pale. I think it’s a good size, too!

Yes, the VIP code worked for me! I am on their mailing list, but I’ve never purchased before.

I Iiked a couple of the rubelites and parti-colored sapphires, but I just went with the opal for this purchase. Happy shopping!

My order has been mailed already! I am so impressed! I just ordered this afternoon!

Also spoke to vendor on the phone and he was extremely lovely! So nice to find an Aussie vendor as well!

*excited*

@KristinTech and anyone else looking for opals: I just saw a darker aussie opal on sale via LT. I'm not too knowledgeable about them since they aren't my favorite, but this one looks really pretty!

I saw this promotion a few days ago and just picked up two beautiful garnets--a hexagonal pink rhodolite and an oval purple one. If they are as pretty in person as in the photos/video, then I will be very happy.

I need to go back to basic geometry class-- I bought an octagonal round, not a hexagonal. Duh!!

Thanks so much @KristinTech

I got this for Lil Sis

She wants a big blue stone and this is a tone she doesn't have. If she doesn't like it I wouldn't mind keeping it. I think it's gorgeous.

And this for myself:

I'm supposed to be on a ban but at these prices it would be silly to resist that colour.


I get it! I couldn’t pass it up! Do you know how your sister will want to set the aqua? How will you set yours?!

I have no idea and I'm going to let her chose between the two stones depending on how nice they are!

The aqua is intended for her but if she wants the pink instead she can have that too.

It's arrived and it's beautiful and it hurts my soul to have to give it away. I'm seriously feeling a bit upset at having to hand this over. I love my sister I really do. This is the perfect shade of blue green. The stone is gorgeous and everything I could want in terms of cut and colour.

Tourmaline is gorgeous as well. Nny photos don't do this one any justice. It's got lots of contrast and not dark like in the photos! I dunno why the camera kills it.

Thank you for posting this! I might have gone a little crazy...

And, there's a pink tourmaline that I'm one moment of weakness away from buying. I'm going to have to abstain from drinking until someone else buys it, so I don't make any drunken purchases. :lol:

@mellowyellowgirl, I received a text message update... my opal made it to Brisbane. :whistle: I think it will be a bit of a wait to get all the way to the heart of Midwest, USA! That’s okay, it gives me time to save for a setting. ;)2

Wow that's so far!!! I am excited for you! Can't wait to see your pics!

I decided to stop being a little troll and offer up both gems for my sister to choose from! After the initial hysteria I have decided Sister comes first.

Whichever gem she picks I have ideas for setting both of mine!!!!

The tourmaline would be real easy! Stock setting in WG. It'll look great!

Where do you get your stock settings? I was looking for setting last night but couldn't decide on anything.

The ovals are tricky but I get mine from a shop in Sydney Chinatown.

They can adjust settings to make things fit if you're not too fussy about settings. I'm pretty chilled with my settings so stock ones are fine.

I finally set this ! It’s a pendant that I’m sharing with my daughters. :) I went with yellow gold. I was thinking of rose gold, but the service manager said it is weaker than yellow or white gold. Is that true?

I really want a black opal now. :mrgreen:
