Hi danny and welcome! Since you are resurrecting an old thread (3 years old) and I don't see her posting much any more, I would suggest you click next to her name where it says all "All User's Topics" and right below that: "All User's Posts." Click on All User's Topics and you can likely find a thread where she talks about the stone.
You have chosen one of the most beautiful tsavs on this board to use as your example so kudos to you. However, recently tsavorite garnet rough is getting harder to find and more and more costly. I suggest you reach out to Roger Dery, Peter Torraca and Lisa Elser, each of whom is an awesome cutter in their own right, but each of whom will soon be back from a buying trip to the source (East Africa). Tsavs like Yingh's are also the most coveted as hers appears to be medium in tone with extremely strong saturation and the much coveted ever so slightly bluish modifier. There are other places to search for them as well, like Swala Gem Traders , or Africa Gems. Good luck.
