Hi I have just acquire a new spess stone today. Since im not particularly knowledgable on orange color stone, would anyone please help me to evaluate my purchase. Im not too sure if this is consider a good orange color, since orange is quite close to brown and I cant tell if this stone is consider having brown shade or not.

The picture is taken under indoor white light with no natural light.

Thanks!! I think the reason why im not too certain of is the same vendor is selling some slightly lighter and less saturated spess stone, although bigger and cleaner, at much higher per carat price. So this lead me to wonder if I have overlooked some other factor about the stone.

And I constantly seeing people mentioning great mandarin garnet looks fiery in person, since I never saw those before, I wonder how well they do when compare against top spinels.
 
Don't worry, you did well. Looks great.
 
Love the cut and the color!

Do you have any photos where the camera is in the same room as the gem? ;)2

You mean the other spess stone from the same vendor? Unfortunately I didnt take a picture of it.
 
Thanks for affirming my choice! I can sleep in peace today:tongue:

I made two more photo on hand that shows the clarity of the stone better

Ugh even better. I love it!
 
I was so excited to see a spess thread when I logged in! We haven't seen many lately. And in my favorite cut!! I'm not sure I've seen an asscher spess? :think: In any event, it's positively gorgeous!! I don't see any brown... a touch of yellow, which is fine. I dislike when they lean red, because that tends to quench the vibrancy. I'm in love! How big is she?

Yes Autumn I buy her mostly because of the cut because i like how asscher/ emerald cut display the colour of the stones. The stone is around 4.8ct.

I'm terribly jealous... kudos!! Will you set her?
 
Ill probably wait for a-bit before setting her, since the gold price is crazy right now and I also got quite a few loose stones waiting in line:errrr:

Well this is one I truly look forward to seeing... you have a great eye. Congrats again!

Was about to say I like the lack of red in this one. Great minds...
