Hmm, interesting stone!  I actually rather like it.  I agree with OMC that the color does look artificial, but if you're just appreciating it for what it is, I like the way it looks.

I admit, if someone were to show me one of these photos out of context, I don't think that I could identify what the stone is. I must do better... Angry

Fancy deep green?

Looks nice, but I still think nothing beats tsav for green...  Evil

Actually, it's a nice looking stone, but too evidently artificial. And I bet it's not cheap either.

We would list it for $2550 if we were going to carry it......

Are the irradiations getting better, because those do look better than the average ones you see at the maul?

Yes, but another factor at play is the quality of irradiated diamonds = which can vary greatly based on the quality of the stone they started with.
If Crud is going into the reactor, different colored crud coming out.

Since most of the places selling irradiated stones are more prone to carry cruddy goods, that what most of them carry.

We happen to know of one dealer that takes greater chances by irradiating stones of higher colors. clarity, and better cut.
The reason it's a gamble is that sometimes the results are not nearly as nice......

This is the smaller one...

This photo sold me on how nice the irradiated diamonds can be. Then I saw the video! I still wouldn't buy one but it was nice to see there are quality irradiated blues out there. BTW, did you ever make a ring out of these stones?

I do really like the green round in color, but not so much the blues.  Reminds me of a highlighter Wink  But they are far better looking than many of the ones I have seen in person and even on the internet. 

I think while I appreciate these for what they are, it kind of solidfies how I like natural hues better.

The smaller blue radiant is really pretty. I would much prefer a natural colour though. Sorry - I did try to love them.
