Its a unheated Madagascar sapphire. Bit over 3.6ct. The very unique thing about this sapphire is that he goes as more skyblue as more sun as he gets. Usually sapphires not look great in direct sunlight. Not so this one.

It’s just so pretty. I love softer colors, and even in less than ideal conditions it’s lovely!

My new hazy spinel--it's a mauve color that is hard to photograph. From GemGazer--thanks all for bringing them to my attention!

Milky sapphires. Pear has a colorless clean line. The oval one shows several colors as brown, orange, yellow, green and goes more violet in incendescant light. The pear seems to be the same sapphire material but much more milky. I concider to recut the pavillion of the oval as it is to shallow.

Will do soon some pics of them in daylight.

My sleepy peridot pinky ring. Sterling, it was so inexpensive at a gem show and I wear it constantly. I love the glow.

I love this thread! Here is my sleepiest stone - a silky spinel. It is beside my unheated Montana sapphire cut by Dana at Mastercut Gems!

Sleepy spinel

I have been given a second chance and I jumped on it! I have always loved this spinel but was not sure if I would love a sleepy spinel up close since so had no never seen one. I used to look at it every day a few years ago and was so disappointed to see that it had sold. A week ago I saw it...

My sleepy spinel arrived today from @Cerulean ! It really glows in sunlight and is hard to capture in photos. I can't wait for my girls to wake up - they will love it! If anyone has setting ideas to minimize the window please share! I was thinking a bezel with 2 diamond sidestones.
