Some Recent Purchases - Picture Heavy

[BWise]

I got a chance to play with my stones in late afternoon light today. So here are pictures. Sorry they appear to be all from the same setting - didn''t get much time.

First one up is a hot pink tourmaline cut by John from R&J. Vendor picture - didn''t do justice. 3ct, 8.8x7.5mm

 

[BWise]

I like this one for the unique cut, especially the table is not rectangular. The color reminds me of a Mahenge spinel.

 

[PumpkinPie]

neat stone

 

[BWise]

In some lighting it is more pink than red.

 

[BWise]

I love the hot pink color

Yay for more yummy Ying stones! More pics!

Next is a green tourmaline cut by Gary at finewatergems. 4.39ct, 10.6 x 8.6mm

I''ve had this one for a while, but never had a picture that will do the stone justice. Today I got some good ones. It is blueish green on one axis, apple green on the other. quite interesting.

 

[BWise]

This will be a pendant some day. (if I stop buying stones and save for the setting)

This is a Malaya garnet cut by Barry at ACS. 3.26ct. Still can''t capture its true color - it is a color shifter anyway.

 

[BWise]

Is this Pad color?

 

[BWise]

Here is a 5.31ct golden tourmaline from Barry. It has strong dispersion, somehow like a Mali garnet.

Flashing in sunlight.

Remember this rose quartz from Peter Torraca? It is clear in clarity but got this milky look, I can''t get the picture right.

 

[BWise]

A glowy look. The pink is very pale.

End of the show for now. Thanks for looking!

[LtlFirecracker]

Love them all, what great new additions.

Some beautiful stones!

It’s neat to see a rectangular stone have an oval table (the tourmaline from John). The Finewater tourmaline, Malaya garnet and golden tourmaline all show excellent flash too. Rose quartz in general have this slightly sleepy silky look so that’s to be expected.
