I haven''t had much time to think about gems but.... if I had to make a quick list I''d say a green tourmaline, a deep purple amethyst, anything pink, and I''ve always wanted a yellow sapphire.
lol... maybe I''ll have to start a thread about your dream colored stones next.Date: 6/11/2009 12:06:21 AM

Unheated Burma ruby of top gem color and clarity of 6 carats, and it has to be an elongated cushion like the Graff ruby.
5+ carat fancy vivid GIA graded green diamond.
Okay, I can dream about what I want on my short list!!
I saw a 2 ct vivid GIA green diamond with florescence the other day. A jeweller that was setting my stone showed me (that tiny pink spinel setting). He was so excited about it and was telling me how rare it was. His wife was begging for it but he said no .. it was for his collection. Stone was not for sale but he enjoyed showing it off and insisted in taking it out and showing me.Date: 6/11/2009 12:06:21 AM

Wow, I''m so envious of your jeweler, and if I were his wife, he wouldn''t have a choice!!Date: 6/11/2009 12:21:35 AM

Is it true that colored diamonds are better with florescence?
