Colored gem beauties (lab-created)

Shoot! I just went for it. Clearly my self control flies out the window whenever paraiba color is involved. :wall:
 
Okay... I sent an email in case everyone is snapping up these roughs. :lol-2:
 
Update: I didn’t get it. :cry: It’s probably for the best but I wanted it so...:cry2:

This is it exactly! :lol: I totally get it, which is why I waited 5 whole minutes before checking out. Guess I waited too long. :confused2:

Dunno if I would have even made it 5 min! I honestly dont even know what I would do with this paraiba YAG. I have this insane idea to ask him for a matched pair and make side stones for my faceted moonstone. Is that totally nuts?? And if you don't think it's nuts, what's a good ratio for size of main stone to side stones?
 
*sob* he isn't taking on any more commissions bc so many requests came in. So no paraiba yag for me :cry2:
 
I know where there's a good chunk of Paraiba YAG rough that I can purchase. Anyone want to go in with me on a piece?

Mods will delete this post bc we aren't allowed to share contact info, but I will shoot you a message!
 
Gene isn’t taking on anymore commissions. Oh well!
 
Looks like you sent me a message in time!
 
Oh that paraiba YAG is stunning! I want it I want it I want it! I am still on a stone buying ban though until everything is set. Plus Gene won't sell to me anyway, GDPR and all that. I still wants it though :confused2:
 
That paraiba is long gone. I think I'm going to purchase some lab rough YAG and having someone else cut it. I may even purchase a nice sized chunk of it and cut it into chunks myself and sell them. ;-)

I am definitely up for getting some of that YAG rough. I can get a big stone and put in a cheap setting while I save up to set my actual paraiba! I may have just talked myself into that :whistle:

LRM_EXPORT_57387027104617_20190214_210439257.jpeg OK, guys and gals - I just placed the order for a chunk of rough big enough to open up a small jewelry store. Thanks to those who responded.

I cannot wait to see all the projects! I would’ve loved to have gotten a piece of this!!!
