Yeah, that is a droolworthy color. But I don't see a good star...it's not very prominent from that picture, but wow, what a sugary candy pink!I loooooove this colour!!!!!

Too bad I'm not into stars.
It kind of reminds me of the ‘cherry blossom’ stars which feature pink and white bodies, or pink and red. The color combinations are so cool. ( I’ve been looking for one, but they don’t seem easy at all to find.) . Too bad the star doesn’t seem very strong. Still, it’s really pretty!I loooooove this colour!!!!!

I was thinking that it’s like a hybrid between a pink sapphire cab and a star, as it has a whispering star. That’s really kind of cool for those who don’t fully want a star, but want just a touch of added phenomenal effect!The pink is so pretty! I kinda wish it didnt even have the star to get in the way!
So curious what these will look like in person. The Mahenge garnet looks different (more orange than purple/peach tones) from the others that were very popular a few months ago.
I also wonder, does anyone know if new items are added in a certain order? They don’t seem to pop up on the first or last pages of the sale, so I always end up reviewing every single item until I hit new ones. I’m sure there’s a better way and I’m just clueless...
I hope the tanzanite is close to the pictures, I know it's not the industry favoured colour, but I prefer the "peacock" sort of colouring of the unheated stones.
Dana's description of the garnet is that the colour is "vivid pink", so I'm curious what colour it is IRL. There was a hand shot in the original listing that looked more pink.
As for finding the new listings, I've been doing the same as you! They seem to be in reverse order of the Gem ID number, so unless they are completely new to the site they show up in random order. I haven't found any other way to sort the listings, unfortunately!
Yay, I'm so glad that ruby finally found a home! I like gems with "flaws" too, but I like to think of them as unique characteristics through which I can find out more about gemology. I've admired that ruby cab many times but since it's not a calibrated size I was unsure I would set it if I bought it. I think it is meant to be, for your gift to your friend!I told my friend I'd get her an interesting gemstone for Christmas that wouldn't break the bank. She has told me she loves flaws in gems, because people are flawed.
I'm guessing this 11 ct unheated ruby qualifies. It's $42. Holy smokes.
It's interesting, we were just talking about the song "Ruby Tuesday" earlier today, and then I found this ruby...on a Tuesday. Maybe it's meant to be!
I picked up a few stones, waiting for them to be shipped to me still! My cousin is having her first baby in January so in particular I've been hunting for red garnets for her. Then of course I saw some other stones that caught my eyesI was really tempted to buy one of the star sapphires but had to contain myself. Now to figure out how I'm going to use these!
