Today was too hot for April
rain drops were evaporating before they hit the ground
im having a well deserved ice block (popsicle)

I'll trade places with you... It snowed 6 inches last night in where we live in Upstate NY!!!

@lilmosun I'm a sucker for a floral design... add rubies to that and I become a might jealous.

ORANGE is up!

[Austina]

Yellow - checkerboard faceted Citrines

 

[lilmosun]

Demantoid garnets

 

[CHRISTY-DANIELLE]

[Starstruck8]

You can go right around the rainbow with star stones...

Top pic - rainbow order right to left.

Pinky right is a star spinel. All the others are sapphire/ruby. The orange/yellow and green ones below are from Queensland, Australia.

Granted, only the purple one is highly saturated.

Ill take half an inch off your hands if that helps
I wouldn't have enough winter clothes for 6
But if i could have sent you 12 degreess it might have got you above freezing

 

[Daisys and Diamonds]

Turquoise

Oh that beauty needs to be set

 

[Daisys and Diamonds]

Yellow - checkerboard faceted Citrines

Oh i kove that checkerboard
someone posted a peridot i think on this thread before and i just loved that pattern but didnt know what to calll it

 

[Daisys and Diamonds]

So um
what's next ?
Shell we say red ?

 

[Daisys and Diamonds]

Oh you're all asleep
Its mid afternoon here
about 20 degrees outside
no sign of rain
I should be doing house work or the garden or something constructive ...
I am enjoying this thread so much
my more modest little pretties are enjoying playing games with the big girls
I dont think i have anything else that's red

 

[Autumn in New England]

@kris01vb What is your lovely marquise stone?

@Austina Welcome to our little porch! What a beautiful collection of citrines you have. Am I spying an Irish Wolfhound in your profile pic?

@CHRISTY-DANIELLE I remember that SBT cab from the turq thread! It's so well-saturated and glossy, that it almost has a gel quality to it. Looove. I concur... we need to see this beauty set!

@Daisys and Diamonds I've so enjoyed seeing all of your pretties! And you add so much color to this forum yourself.

I think @Starstruck8 took care of this round's purple and pink categories (and then some) with that gorgeous star sapph collection. On to RED then!

 

[Daisys and Diamonds]

Come on red!

 

[lilmosun]

How about a common red umba garnet (paired with a non-rainbow colorless leuco garnet)



@Daisys and Diamonds - I admit, I love seeing your pretties - you've been holding out on us. Especially love the amethyst egg pendant and garnet earrings

I just had this floral design made and love the look!

 

[CHRISTY-DANIELLE]

Oh that beauty needs to be set

On the list! (sadly no money tree in my yard, but I keep looking)

 

[Autumn in New England]

There is nothing common about that ring, @lilmosun!! Umbalite is is highly prized. Love the precision cut too!

Look at the fire in those stones... Now THAT is a halo, @kris01vb. Congrats on your new ring!!

@CHRISTY-DANIELLE Same! I've stopped buying stones to concentrate on just setting them now and being satisfied with that.

 

[Daisys and Diamonds]

On the list! (sadly no money tree in my yard, but I keep looking)

When you find that tree save me some seed ....

 

[Daisys and Diamonds]

Ok im the spanner in the works
I got some Whitby jet
I mean we have had white so its only fare black gets a turn

Unfortunately fat neck so it is a couple of inches too short

 

[Daisys and Diamonds]

I think we may be up to orange again

I had a lab saphire orange ring (before i knew nature made orange gems) but saddly he was lost

 

[Shiny Black Cat]

There is some jellow in this crazy lace agate

 

[Atwater]

Green: emerald


Next: blue

 

[Atwater]

Blue: zircon


Next: Purple.

Blue: Zircon. I love the blue zircon pendant I had made for my older niece so much, I bought another one for myself.


Next: purple.

 

[Shiny Black Cat]

Amethyst

 

[Crimson]

This isn’t exactly pink, but fuchsia. I bought it because of how wild and intense it looked. It is a 4.7 ct ruby.

 

[lilmosun]

Bixbite (Red Beryl)

(Paired with Luc Yen Cobalt (blue) spinel, green Paraiba and diamond stackers)

 

[Daisys and Diamonds]

Scraping the bottom of the barrel (im not a red person).These are the garnet beads i had to order to make up the freight requirement when i ordered the too small citrene beads (im learning thankfully on the cheap stuff)
I think it would make a nice braclete
