We received three stones (the radiant PR02, pink/purple PB33, and blue BB570) yesterday and spent the day checking them out in different light conditions. All of them are much prettier in person than in video or pictures.

The blue is really beautiful, BUT it clashes with my skin tone (Asian/olive/yellow), so that's out (for me). We both actually liked PR02 more than expected and PB33 less than expected. To us, PR02 is more sparkly and a bit lighter in person than in the videos (though still fairly dark and not very sparkly until you get it in good lighting) and PB33 is much pinker in person. I guess I'd say PB33 is a general dusky rose sort of color and I was hoping for something that's more to the red (Crayola Brick Red or Infra Red or Maroon) or purple (Crayola Plum) side of things (purely because I think it's too girly-pink for me to wear on a regular basis). PR02 is like a super sparkly amethyst with reflections that flash purple and purple-red but in some lighting conditions it looks like Crayola Tropical Violet (more flat/dark).

Among the three, I think we're leaning towards PR02, but we're waiting to hear back from Eric about whether there might be other more reddish options in the pipeline.
