TGT Drop for June!

[chrono]

So many goodies at TGT but I am trying to be good. If anyone managed to get my favourites below, please be so kind as to post additional pictures.

 

[LoversKites]

Quick as ever Chrono!

Your favourites are my favourites too, with the addition of the iridescent pallasite olivine, which is so fascinating, and the almost neon (as per the description) chryso.

Wish I could buy something.

@Chrono

I'm really surprised that you like the Mahenge

A clone???

I love the Taaffeite!

I must have missed the pear chrysoberyl. I thought the peridot interesting too but it did not show that wonderful "meteorite" flash from the top view.

Hey Marlow,
It's coincidental, I swear!

 

[Marlow]

Of course - what else!!

Both Mahenge pears are beautiful and I'm SOOOO glad to purchase some a few years ago for 10-20% of the price of today - good old auctions from Tan and others....

 

[VapidLapid]

I asked for the sugite and/or the pezzotaite

 

[Marlow]

Will you cut the pezzo??

 

[VapidLapid]

cant say for sure, but i doubt i would.
so very many wonderful pieces this month!

 

[Marlow]

The Danburite is interesting - most ( not to say every) brown or golden stones from Dalnegorsk ( Russia) are radiated.

Last Munich Show I purchased 2 small but top quality pezzos - round and !!! nearly eyeclean !!! - best ever seen - it is so sad that this
fantastic gem is rare wirh a good clarity.

But expensive - 0,27 ct and 0,45 ct for 450 € ( 600$) pct!!

When I am able to post pictures I will show them.

I'd been waiting for the update all morning! Asked for the aquamarine as I've wanted one for a while. Also love the red pear spinel and the chryso. That will be a sparkler on the hand!

 

[VapidLapid]

marlow, i look forward to seeing your pezzos.

Wordie, Ive gotten ised to having to wait up to 24 hours to hear if i got anything

 

[davi_el_mejor]

I went a little off trend from you guys and totally had to have a second look at the hessonite and rhodochrosite!

That rhodochrosite is divine!

And had I not went a little cray cray this last month in buying stuff, I would have probably put my name in for the hessonite. I bet it's magical

 

[DotDot]

Gasp~ I also put in for the aqua!

 

[pregcurious]

I like the hematite Schiller

 

[JewelFreak]

I loved the rhodochrosite too, Davi, and the chryso. I took my little paw off the keyboard before doing more damage to my bank account.

I just heard from Brad. The sugilite and the pezzottaite are mine!

 

[chrono]

Congrats! It means that pictures are forthcoming, right?

 

[distracts]

Did anyone put in for the chrysoberyl? That's the one that caught my eye the most. Such intense color!

I hope someone from PS got the hessonite because I really want to see pictures of it.

VL - I second the picture request. The color on that sugilite looks unreal.

For Wordie and Dot.

 

[VirginiaZee]

Whoever got the lavender spinel please post photos! I asked for that one but was too slow. Though I did reply to Brad's "sorry, you're somewhere in line for it" email with a request to add me to the list of people looking for something like this, so fingers crossed.

 

[DotDot]

I haven't heard from Brad at all and the aqua doesn't say reserved. Do I still have hope?

 

[minousbijoux]

Yes - he's probably still making his way down the list.

 

[kama_s]

I snagged this! 3.85ct Umba Rhodolite.

 

[wordie89]

Dot dot I hope you have the aqua as I missed it!!!

 

[JewelFreak]

Congratulations to all who snagged stones! The vesuvianite, I think, is still available -- cool gem. I am not buying anything unless it's my holy grail until I get a few stones set, I promised myself (threatened myself is a better description).

--- Laurie

 

[LoversKites]

Congrats Kama, if it's not too much to ask, please post pics of your rhodolite when you get it

 

[DotDot]

Wordie, we can cry over the aqua together. Someone else has gotten it.

 

[wordie89]

Dot Dot..... I hope that whoever gets it shares their ideas for it here. I sort of like this little bauble
