Went to the international gem show today...

[RockHugger]

I went to the gem show today, and came home with some nice loot!! I was looking through some loose gems, and saw the pink sapphire section....I noticed one standing out in the sea of bright pinks as different....not just pink... I asked if it was BE treated, and the vendor said no treatment at all. He was honest with the treatment of his other stones so I see no reason he would lie about this one stone.

Pad? It is pink with orange undertone and orange flashes. .4cts.

ETA: yuck, doesnt have any brown like seen in the picture. Going to try to take a better pic.

You know, I keep saying yes to setting these stones I buy, but I keep buying stones and have no money left to set them LOL!!!! So...My answer this time will be 'some day!'.

That's very pretty and a bright stone RH. Are you planning on setting it? Maybe a bypass ring with that and one of your many pear shaped cuprians??? The pastel colors would compliment each other really well.
