Everyone,
Please don''t get overly excited but I will attempt to take a picture of my spess next weekend.

Too late; I am excited!

I agree w/ TL- what about the tsav??? Did it arrive yet?

 

[icekid]

Ok, I finally took pics of my spess and you can see a sneak preview...

<---------- (love the contrast against my sapphire)

I''ll post more photos later- we''re going to Baltimore to look for an apartment now!

Pretty! And as always, I love the sapphire!

Good luck in Baltimore!! If you find yourself around the inner harbor/federal hill area, I highly recommend Matsuri if you like Japanese food

I love, LOVE,

all the beautiful garnets!!

Beautiful orange spess Icekid! Want more pics!! Is that a concave cut, can''t tell from pic, but I think it is.

I love the variety of Garnets and some of the ones posted already have been breathtaking.

Nothing on the scale of Zeolite''s wonderful collection but here are some of mine:

My My 2.33 Morogoro Garnet from Rick at Art cut gems.
I was a little flat about it as Sally from Heart of Water is setting it said it has lots of extinction and is definitely NOT a night time stone. But she just emailed me to tell me that in daylight it is magical.

Kate, I''m glad it worked out.

No, the shipping company messed up. It wasn''t shipped out until Thursday so I expect it by next Friday.

You mean this one? I better get ready for those sunglasses!! Don''t forget to take pictures of the latest tsavorite (if you decide to keep it).

Yes, that one.

 

[chrono]

LD,
Has your tsavorite arrived yet?

 

[babysteps]

This is my malaya trio from Barry Bridgestock; they are getting set into a ring and earrings at Ann McKay right now

ETA: that actually works better WITH a photo - sorry, it's below

 

[babysteps]

Sorry, here''s the malaya set
