Picked this up today thought it was cool af. I like his stones they always have cool inclusions…. Really unique and well cut. Good price too

Haha me too! But at least we get to see it since a PSer got it!

Very cool, for those who don't know what they are looking at, there is a single tourmaline needle in the middle of the quartz, and the quartz is cut to reflect the needle.

Thank you for mentioning this! I was a bit puzzled as to what was going on here. That is impossibly cool. Man and nature coming together to create art.

How are you going to set it? Cool stone.

I feel like salt and pepper diamonds should play a part in any mounting.

 

[Bonsai]

I’ve wanted to do something with salt and pepper diamonds for awhile

But idk bc this is big like 8mm
Maybe a necklace
Give me some ideas pls?!

FYI here’s a pic on the finger
I can’t wait to be able to make a video of if

I like celestial things in trying to think if there’s some direction I can go that way

That is so cool. I feel like it should be set kinetically in something that spins.

I vote ring so you can look at it all the time. Very cool!

This is so cool! I’ll do a sculptural ring. 8 mm is totally doable for a ring.

I love the idea of something celestial, @Bonsai. ★✧✯✷☆✵

Came in fast
So I’m thinking of setting it in blackened silver? What you guys think ?
Maybe with a tiny diamond in the band on the side ?

 

[Mooshi]

I don't know how big, or celestial you want to go.. but someone else mentioned spinning and this came to mind. I've always wanted to find a stone to make a ring like this!

 

[JackTrick]

would you mind taking a video of you tilting the gem a bit? i’d love to see what it looks like as it rolls around

 

[Bonsai]

so I actually made one but I don’t feel like I got a good representation as I feel like it looks better in real life

 

[JackTrick]

oh that’s so trippy. love it!

So cool and it's screaming Eva Fehren at me, play up the uniqueness.

So happy it went to a PSer!! I saw Gary post it and I was mesmerised!
Can't wait to see how you decide to set it! It deserves something truly special

Thanks @demantoidz !

Saw this and thought of this quartz.
The high number of prongs goes with the effect of the cut (or is it a bezel with fake-out prongs?)
Its not as complicated as designing a spinning ring.

That’s such a cool stone. I think your idea of blacked silver would be nice. Here are some inspiration photos of celestial themed rings.

Wow, such a unique stone!

Personally, I would go with as few and as minimally sized prongs as possible, for fear of diminishing the appearance of the rays, whether by covering up part of them or darkening the stone by blocking out light.
