Peter Torraca Scapolite - you guys aren''t bored of Asschers, are you? ;)

[LaurenThePartier]

Some of you may remember this thread: https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/scapolite-going-to-be-cut-in-an-asscher.108300/

I just picked up the Asscher Scap cut by Peter yesterday, and already, I''m smitten. Peter was a dream to work with as he kept me updated with information on his Flickr and via email, even barring a week while I was laptopless (long story). I loved checking the photostream to see new comments about the rough and during the cutting process

If you visit Peter''s Flikr photostream you can see pics of the process. . .

So, here''s my new Scapolite! 2.61 ct., 8.26mm x 8.27mm x 6.15mm.

I fall in love with Asschers after I joined this forum. ALWAYS a fan of rounds but Asschers are awesome too.

Thanks, Ladymentha! That''s my problem, too! PS facilitates Asscher love, a little too much!

Oh Lordy I am in Asscher Heaven! The new stone is Heavenly...but I have to say the Aqua gets me everytime!!!

 

[Gailey]

Lovely Lauren, really lovely. I just adore that soft colour. Can you remind us of the stats and tell us what you are going to do with it.

I don''t think we will ever tire of asschers.


BTW, I don''t think you''re a nerd, I gotta get me some accoutrements!

 

[bebe]

really, really nice Lauren.

Love how you keep growing your collection with such beauties.

 

[princessplease]

Lauren, they''re stunning!!

 

[chrono]

I pronounce you the Queen of Asschers. What a huge collection of asschers.

 

[FrekeChild]

WOWZA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Just gorgeous!!!

Where did you get the 21cter?

 

[NeverEndingUpgrade]

OK, you can give me your aqua now that you don''t need it.

 

[LaurenThePartier]

Thank you so much, Karee888, Cushioncutnut, Gailey, Bebe, Princessplease, Chrono, Freke, and NeverEndingUpgrade!

Gailey - The new Scapolite is 2.61 ct., 8.26mm x 8.27mm x 6.15mm. I don''t know what I''m going to do with it yet. I can''t mount it in a ring, but I really was hoping to wear it somehow. Maybe a bezel set pendant or something?

Freke - the 21 ct. Blue Topaz was an Ebay buy - radiated with a huge window, but I love the heft of it. It''s one of my play stones.

 

[Catmom]

Beautiful!!!

 

[Kaleigh]

Oh Lauren, all I can say is wow!!!!

 

[secondhandnews]

Those are some really nice additions to your collection!!

 

[mochi]

I love it!! You have such beautiful stones!

I definitely need to get one of those gadgets...
