My first precision cut stone! It's definitely darker in real life than his photo, but the video is spot on. I absolutely love the brilliant red flashes. It definitely get darker in direct sunlight, but I wouldn't say it blacks out, since the red sparkles are always there.

I'm also in complete awe of all of you who take such gorgeous photos of your stones. It's HARD! I'm using my phone, so I know I can't expect professional quality results, but I still can't manage to capture the actual richness and color of the stone- in the photos it always seems a little more washed out and a little more mauve than in real life.

Hey thats really nice and a great size too. I also really like rhodolites. The red wine color appeals to me.
 
It's a pretty one! I've noticed it when it's up on Jeff's site. So eager to listen to your setting ideas =)
