I am looking for a pair of natural stones approx. 5 mm. round. Well cut is a must. I am considering lots of options so please post if you have anything that may work for my project. Thanks!
 
Hi purplesparklies,

I've got several nicely coloured spessartites in that size - are you up for orange? :)
 
Might be too small but I have a pair of 4mmish K colored MRBs that are left over from a project.
 
I've got a couple options...
5mm round pair of red Spinels - not precision-cut but nicely-cut
5mm round pair of Tanzanites - not precision-cut but nicely-cut, and I have several pair
5mm round pair of rubies (flux-filled) - I've got two pair, one pair a bit brighter and nicer-cut than the other
4.5mm round pair of blue zircon - these are precision-cut, but smaller than your requested 5mm

I've kept these in my collection thinking the right project might come along for each pair - so in my own opinion they are nice enough to be worth setting - but I've had most of the pairs for several years now and haven't yet gotten around to setting them so if you are interested in any of them let me know and I can take some pics and put up a DB listing (being forewarned that red stones in particular are impossible for me to photograph accurately!).

Ooohhhh....not sure if they are too small but I can check. Are they eye clean? Do you have a DB listing through which I can contact you to discuss further?

Ooohhhh....lots of options! I am going to do a little checking and let you know of which pairs I may be interested in seeing photos. Thank you!
