Somebody's Gotta Buy This Stone!

Oh, that sunstone looks like liquid copper! :kiss2:
 
LOVELY earrings!
 
I’d be tempted but I’m just a huge oval gal. Awesome color for sure.
 
This is a freaking bargain people! Being sold by our very own @katharath is a gorgeous 2ct Merelani Mint garnet. With an original purchase price of $2,200, I can not believe she’s letting it go for this price. :love:

I had given up on finding an affordable well saturated mint so grabbed this...and very happy that I did. I thought the window might bother me but the color and sparkle distracts my eyes from it.

Good work, @lilmosun! You always know how to snag a good deal. :) Please start a thread when you set this baby!

I’m so glad it was you!! We definitely need to see more pics. Any ideas on what you’ll do with it? :love:

Someone needs to do me a favor and buy this so I don't. I've seen this ring and fell in love. But I told myself that I need to focus on setting stones I have. I've had it bookmarked since and it's part of Yvonne's 30% one-day sale.

I always thought that ring was so unique and pretty. It’s not my usual style but there’s just something special about it that draws the eye. :love: I can’t believe it hasn’t sold yet.
 
But that size! The color !!!!
I’ve seen a flurry of nice looking electric blue topaz rough lately from a couple of vendors. While I can’t help you avoid buying this one, I did fall prey to the siren song of the electric blues...
 
Very pretty ring, @lilmosun, I understand the temptation! This setting would look awesome with bright green demantoids, too :-)

I was relatively good and only bought an inexpensive dark blue aqua and some demantoid melee for an upcoming project,
 
That vanadium chryso pear is divine! I was so tempted I put it into a cart and started the purchase, but then I remembered my 2019 vow... "finish what I've already started" ...

FWIW I definitely agree with 2Neezers this pear would be stunning in a diamond halo!
 
@2Neezers wow what a find! Too bad I maxxed out my bling budget, need to set some gems that I already bought. You *did* mean that the vanadium beryl would definitely pop in a *yellow* diamond halo, right? Because imo that would blow a white diamond halo out of the water in accentuating the minty color. :lol:
 
A yellow diamond halo would be gorgeous with a minty stone @voce ! That is another thing to add to my wish list :D.
@marymm I had the pear in my cart all day yesterday too. I asked David for a hand shot of the two stones and he sent it late last night. I think they are a little lighter than what I am looking for, but the cut on heart is really grabbing my attention in the photo.
