Recieved the wierd included mahenge from Tan today!

[RockHugger]

and I litterally said "wow!" when I opened it. The color is like 3x more saturated then my heart, and he is right, the wierd inclusions arnt visable to the eye. In fact, they create a 'glow' effect within the stone. It sparkles like crazy (although, the flashes are more within the stone, unlike my heart where the flashes jump out at you) and is VERY bright. It is interesting because its pink, and has not only orange/red undertones, but purple undertones as well. The squiggle lines are visable by loup, and I think create a really really cool light effect in the stone.

EDA: THe stone also has strong flour, so it really lights up outdoors even in the hazy sunlight I have today.

I am super happy with it!

That’s a huge difference in saturation!

 

[RockHugger]

I know right! I thought my heart was a bright pink. I hate to say it but this stone makes my heart look more bubblegum when side by side.

It is amazing! I love that inner glow that these stones have. It is like there is a life within them. Congratulations!!!

Okay, with "weird Mahenge" in the title, I wasn't expecting much, but wow, that color is fantastic! Yum!!

WOW that's gorgeous! I bet you that tons would have been put off by the video in the Ebay link as it really doesn't look like the inclusions would disappear. Very lovely indeed and great find.

RH,
I can't see your photos on this new version on PS2.0 in my browser, but I'm dying to get home tonight to see them on my other computer. I'm so thrilled you are happy with it. Sometimes a nice Mahenge will have a blue sheen in there, I love that about them. I'm also glad I was wrong when I first said the inclusions might be distracting when you first showed the ebay link for this stone. Bravo to you for picking some real winners!

Congrats!!

Please tell me you're setting this one?

 

[RockHugger]

Lol I don't know... should I set this one or the heart?

I think you should set this one first, just because you seem a little more excited about it.

That stone is amazing. Way prettier than Tan's photos.

 

[Arkteia]

Wonderful! I was just afraid of the word "candy" so stayed away from this stone. No I am thinking why...

 

[Upgradable]

Set this one first!
