Master Cut Gems is having a sale right now. Is anybody getting anything? I'm trying to be good, but it's so hard!!!!!!
 
Ok I am weak. I bought a heliodor. I am tempted to get another one but hoping that somebody else will scoop it up, otherwise I'll end up buying it to placate this....anxiety? Unrest? Turmoil? Y'all know what I mean!!!:lol:
 
Oh no - terrible. I “hate” their sales. Dana is the nicest!

Yes, Dana and Rachelle are a pleasure to deal with. Such nice people.
 
That hot pink sapphire at half price is gorgeous! Someone snap it up and please remove temptation!
 
I knew it was coming up but I didn't expect the prices to be so good, so I bought a few things. I emailed them to request a PayPal invoice, because I'm in the UK and can't order directly from their site. I hope no one else buys the stones I wanted in the meantime. Or that they will honour the orders by timestamp.
 
I bought 4! Of course I forgot to take screen shots and now they are off the wea site however I was able to find a few pictures from google.
Pictures 1&2 are a sapphire I went back to a few times over the last few months. I thought it was neat and hope the inclusions are cool IRL too!

picture 3 is a zircon I’ve had my eye on for MONTHS! Finally able to snag it!
Picture 4 was an impulse buy tourmaline

4Th purchase with no photo was a lot of 4 garnet baguettes.

I'm not usually a loose stone gal but this one caught my eye, so I bought it.

Omg! You and I are twins or something!

I bought two parcels of demantoid before the sale because I wanted them before they are gone and that's the other heliodor I was agonizing over! Congratulations!!!!

I thought I studied everything listed on sale but guess not? It's my first time seeing that one. It's a pretty one!
 
@Cockatiel, something about the color and the cut on that sapphire, I just couldn't say no!
 
You know what now that the other heliodor I was tempted by has sold thankfully, I am now eyeing the other chartreuse heliodor still available. What the heck! And studying Yvonne's melee to use with the heliodor I bought. I didn't come across anything that would work nicely yet but I keep like trying to convince myself to reconsider that :lol:
 
I wasn’t planning on getting anything, but this little sapphire was cute and under $100, so I couldn’t pass it up. 75CAE99D-7CA2-4CC4-ACB0-08886A1679F8.png

Hehe. I've mostly stuck with purple and blue stones, and now I'm venturing into greens and yellows. I don't even have a project in mind yet. Worst kind of impulse purchase.
 
So happy someone bought the blue Peruvian opal. I was SO TEMPTED but am on a ban for any loose stones.

I don't normally consider any beryls because I convinced myself they are too delicate for me. But I was really intrigued by the heliodor, Dana said they are very clean and sparkly in the descriptions so yeah I had to snatch one.

Beryls are 8 on the Mohs scale. Apart from emeralds having lots of inclusions and prone to fracturing, I'd consider aquamarine, heliodore, morganite and goshenite very durable.

Ya that's the reasoning I used for the heliodor. However I have been known to have chipped a few spinels so I'd probably need to baby the heliodor!
 
I have had my eye on something there for a bit, but I really don't need to buy it. Plus, I'd have to spend money to set as well! I wish what I liked was not on sale.
 
I'm eyeing several of the blue zircons, have been looking for one for a while!
 
Dammit, I bought 2 things. I’ve been wanting to make some long pendants for nights out (ha! After the pandemic etc)

So I bought:

I have to stop before DH divorces me. Lol
