Small but mighty. Post your little gems with big color!

Here are a couple of wee but powerful stones.

First up is little emerald next to large. Little is an eBay find that has been in process for 6 months. The center emerald was abraded terribly. I sent it to be recut, it rattled so in the setting, and then sent it and the 2 half moon diamonds to GIA. Amazingly, the emerald came back as a .48ct (from .76) no treatment Columbian stone. It is insanely neon and pops in any lighting. This photo is focused on the larger emerald but the little one is actually more neon.

The second photo is a Tiffany pendant with a 1.20 ct No heat Kashmir Sapphire, and is the best color of the three I am custodian of…it too glows in any lighting.

OMG…that sapphire! TDF!

My new 8.6×7 oval London blue topaz absolutely glows. My cellphone just doesn't do it justice. The cut is really spectacular.

Could not resist these little beauties.

This little ruby! Small but so so saturated and lively!

My new antique natural ruby may not be the brightest on this thread, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's the smallest.

I love that ring design!

I thought I'd share another bright and lively small stone. I don't know what I'll do with it yet, but I couldn't pass up this 6.88×5.7, 1.33ct untreated spessartite garnet.

My benitoites definitely qualify. Tiny but packing a punch with color and sparkle.

Ruby in my new ring is so bright and red, cannot stop looking at it
