I searched and could not find this topic, so let me start a new one.

Please show me your silky/sleepy magical sapphire or spinel stones? I love the look so much. I found one I love, but it is a bit (LOT) outside of what I can afford right now, so I won't post it here...but it looks like it is made from unicorn magic. I'm obsessed.

Please, can you share your sleepy stones/jewelry on this thread?

My ruby has just a touch of silk, but it wouldn't qualify! I need to see this "unicorn magic" stone now!!

Okay. I mean, I can't buy it now, but I was going to go buy a lottery ticket. Things could happen. It's so magic.

And my sleepy diamond. It’s a fancy white, intriguing gem.
Its like opalescent and “weird” in bright sunshine.

Oh my, this is gorgeous. It's otherworldly. I just love it!

If you search for opalescent, you'll find a lot of these examples! I will try to remember to take a family shot soon of all of mine...

Hmm, rustic. I found this interesting sapphire when digging around and it was super affordable so I picked it up. I wonder what the rust-colored inclusions are.

@Bron357 I am curious about this white diamond. Is the "white" a super fine and even cloud formation, or is it something else?

This is like a cloudy sky. So pretty! Do you find it changes a lot in different lighting?

It does! It's pretty glowy in direct sun outside, also more sky blue. More denim and more pink inside/indirect light

Good lord, I love this! I know where it is and have also sighed at the price.

I've had something similar (but smaller at 1.1 cts, and not as nice) in an open tab for a few weeks. It costs only $122.

I haven't purchased it though, probably because I bought another sapphire recently ($100 or so) that has just been sitting in my drawer:

This is really cool. I've been drooling over some opalescent diamonds.

This is still very very pretty with lavender and pink.

Yeah, big ole sigh for the unicorn stone. It's okay though, someone will love it someday. I just hope we get to see the ring!

Not the best pictures, and somehow they always turn out the same:roll:, but these are my sleepy spinels.

Curious, do you find these stones change a great deal in lighting - more than non-silky sapphires, or about the same?

@ProfessorBling, if you are willing to share the vendor for that sleepy purple, I'd be happy to post many photos... ;)2

Can't wait to see the finished product!! I've found many sleepy sapphires here, and some really cool galaxy-looking ones too.
