I'm taking blue. Benitoite. A rare gem that I crossed off my bucket list.

The cut is so magical... and it sort of looks like a parti stone. It's divine! What's the weight? I know this material is $$$.

PURPLE plays next!

Thanks for the kind words. It is a bicolor without perfect 50/50 split, but face-up it does have a parti-color kind of look.

@Autumn in New England, it is 0.7ct with a shallow cut which I crudely measured to be around 3-3.5mm, so it faces up like/larger than many 1ct pieces (8.2x4.8mm). This vid shows the bicolorism, shallowness (I tried), and tilt windowing (probably caused by the shallow cut).

For pricing, 1ct is the magic number. Check WSFgems.com for example. 0.7-0.8cts for 1.2-2k, vs a 1.19ct for 10k. They had a flawless, 2ct round for somewhere around 40-60k - didn't take long to sell (or at least it disappeared from the site)

My latest purchase and 1st big stone jewellery. An unheated 5ct Ceylon sapphire set with 2 moonstone on its side.

I visited the shop with the intention to view another ring and this one caught my heart instead.

It's been a while since we've played this game!

Here is my purple sapphire (1.66ct, unheated/untreated natural Ceylon Sapphire from the Nivitigala mine). Cut is a bit wonky but love the color!

Picture-perfect royal purple shade, IMO. And no window! I find it nearly impossible to locate pear CS's with no loss of light surrounding the keel. Kudos!

These little guys blew my socks off when they arrived- absolutely neon in the sun! So it'll have to be something special . Still pondering what to do with them but my sisters birthstone is ruby and mine i s emerald- so maybe something like attached.
[ But first fate decided we needed a new fridge, stovetop, water heater and A/C all in the last year so I have to wait on any settings right now). :(
