Orange Sapphire

[Jksonner1]

Diffuse...I know ( or rather assume because it is so perfect) but so pretty. Just for the pleasure of showing and interacting with this new board I have discovered here I guess. I travel a lot and am coming across sources and have been bit by the bug. Have a nice collection I think. Even a few Emeralds and Rubies. Plan on sending what I believe the most valuable ones are to GIA for appraisal. I love this stone. Cannot remember the carat wieght but it is about the size of my thumbnail.

That size in a Beryl diffused stone is quite rare. Very pretty. Best regards, Lee

Wow! Quite stunning!

I love orange roses.. and orange gems.. So unique and not like everyone else's stones.

Do you have plans for a setting?

Lee, wow ia that so? I would think the more elaborate the stone the more likely to be diffuse. This is a pretty good size. If it turned out to be natural I would be exstatic.

No plans for setting. Suggestions?

Always open to sell or trade as well but would definitely have it certified at GIA prior. There are a few of us who are thinking on going in on the 2500.00 GIA colored stone passbook for 50 stones to see what kind of products we are getting for sure.

Nice stone! It is great to have a stone (or anything else) that makes us happy and that is the most important thing.

very true...just due to the minuscule knowledge I have gained by researching, some of the guys I work with come to me asking. I tell them buy it if you love it and have a reaction to it not as an investment at this point. We know JUST enough to get ripped off haha.

It looks to have a decent crown height, which I typically find helps to create dispersion and flash.
