Purchased this from LT a few months ago but sadly orange does not look good on me -- plus I have a new project to fund. 7.5mm 1.85ct Old Nigerian material Lloyd Forrester eye clean, but slightly silky looking, which is typical for orange garnets Pictures do not do this stone justice at all. This stone has very little brown or yellow modifier and is amazingly orange. The picture on the Facebook page and the picture in the low light are the most accurate as far as color goes - my camera tends to want to turn the bright orange body color into yellow. This stone looks amazing in full sunlight and in shade. It also glows in low light conditions, as can be seen in one of the pictures. Please feel free to ask questions. Price includes shipping. As I am a private seller, all sales are final.

I have been on the fence with regards to keeping this stone for a project ring, or going in a different direction, and I think I have decided on the latter. So my loss is your gain! Gorgeous and sparkly as the day is long. Will include certificate of authenticity. Since Loupe Troop's email/message service is notoriously unreliable, email me at violettblue at gmail dot com if interested.

OK short lesson in Cassia Rufa shell there are male (the ones that are used for cameos as the color is amazing) and females which has white shell with the color in the layers. Now when I started carving I found shells and I was sworn to up and down that they were male shells....as you can see here this cameo is from female shell lol I wanted to practice with my gravers and decided that a tropical fish was sitting there. I cut the shell with my jewelers saw by hand then I used my ONE count it One graver to carve lol So if you like this baby fishie about 30mm across and from top to bottom as you can see it will take a lot of imagination to set this one. The shell is fairly thick and so is the carving. and yeah I roughly signed the back it is one of my first cameos So are you an expert wire wrapper? Or a jeweler who can see a fabulous design?
