Gene's newest stones (precision gem)

I fell in love with icekid's avatar a long time ago and looked high and low for this colour. Ended up with a darker violet (also from Gene), which I love to pieces, but this lighter colour was still in the back of my mind. Minou knew of my quest. ;)
 
NKOTB- Please post pics when it arrives. I was coming back for that stone but you beat me to it. It is so lovely with that color and cut and the size is just right. I am glad it went to you.
 
So pretty! I'm glad it went to a good home.

It's more blue, when I was hoping it would lean more lavender, and it doesn't fit the setting I was hoping it would, but it's very pretty, and the cut is amazing and unlike one I've seen!
 
NKOTB- It's gorgeous! :appl:
 
Your stone is beautiful, NKOTB! Have you found a setting for it yet?

Gene has a sale going on and I have been wanting this sapphire for a long while. The color is so luscious! It has some beautiful rutile tubules close up.IMG_0185.JPG
 
^ I bought this Winza sapphire - for various reasons it has been several years since I bought anything from Gene, but when I saw this Winza it really appealed to me - and luckily IRL I find it captivating - it reminds me of space and nebulae - my DH likes it too, which is always a plus. I see it set as a ring, in Platinum prongs, with some diamonds and maybe an 18kt YG shank... fun stuff.
 
I like the combination of colors, Mary. Your new stone has a lot of personality!
 
So exciting @marymm
I hadn't thought of it that way but it does kind of look like outer space. So neat. It will look awesome set with diamonds. Like little tiny stars. :D
 
I really like the star pattern on top of the grossullarite garnet. Very interesting cut!

I bought the mahenge garnet. It's gorgeous in person - I love the cut as it has a fairly tall crown :kiss2:. I did my best with the pictures ... Very accurate to Gene's picture and video.

Many thanks to this forum for getting me off to such a great start with the colored stones - this is officially my first though I have a blue sapphire in the works with Jeff White :mrgreen2:.

Looks like a total stunner! :love: I find that garnets look beautiful in person but are extremely difficult to photograph. Don't they understand that we want to share their sparkly beauty with the world?! :P2

Great gems!
 
Yeah, great price!!
 
I was looking at that tsavorite too, but have spent too much lately! I really like the shape and the brightness. Let us know what you think, Elle!

Someone please tell me a PSer got this tourmaline. It's so beautiful! I want the chance to ogle more pics of it.
 
I'm glad that sapphire sold, I would have been tempted!
