LOL MoDo, don't stress woman. I was speaking from my point of view, I'm not normally a true heart shape lover ( I prefer the flat top). But... as far as bumpy top hearts go I really like that one in that colour. To my eye it just suits.
Now yes, the top looks like it could do with a little face lift, it looks like too much Botox was added one side. :wink:

Rockahula!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

This seemed appropriate for today, though this stone has been here before, it's still available!

There's been bigger Tsavorites on this thread, & greener, but this is a biggie, has a beautiful color, & a cut that is out of this world! 11.04 cts

Not a common color for this gem, a negative. The asking price is much too high,
in my opinion.

william it's stone(s) of the day not bargain of the day. :wink:

It's what gives a person the ooh to their minds eye and oh boy, price?
That's like asking a woman her age! :lol:

Price is whatever it's worth to the creator and ultimately the buyer.

Keep em comin Elvis!!!

Well Bill, the price is well under $4000.00 a carat. For a Tsavorite of this quality & cut (AGTA award winning) the price at a high end boutique could be $8000.00-$12000 a carat mounted, & that may be conservative? It comes from one of the most award winning cutters in the industry, John Dyer, that in it's self is a premium to collectors.

Though a picture does not always capture the true color to the eye, this stone looks to have a blue tint to it, very desirable, & rare in this size. How many 11 cts Tsavorites like this do you run in to? :wink:

Nice ... but don't bother with the video. It's not a video of the gem, but a video about the store

Yes, I know. Don't understand why myself. Those videos have been up for a while. I was all excited to see, Marc's many fantastic stones on video. Was a tad disapointed.
