Thanks Casey,..that is a great list!!

Can you tell me WHY its so hard to find a good 7.5-8mm
ROUND cut morganite???

Interesting question, I have never seen a round morganite. I suggest you check out any of the precision cutters that cut morganite and see if they have any rough. It's not an expensive stone, so perhaps a "custom request" stone won't break the bank.

Thanks guys!

i think the people on this site are still better people than what i found on pricescope-some dont deserve sweat. i did send a stone to GIA for testing-it did come back with a positive report which did match one of my appraisers findings-i presented the info to the other site for viewing & that was shreaded by some-i say to myself-why bother!.i still will stand behind the ebay sites-most are excellent & good stones are there for the taking although prices have gone up as all things have recently. i will not kick dirt here, but i use as many appraisers as i can to verify material-so far im up to 6 individuals who owe me nothing but their profession. most are very impressed with what i have bought & prices paid. i think u all mean well but my responce to u is that u should learn how to shop for gems-i mean really get into looking for good stone at good prices. i know that an appraisal is an opinion based on known facts as seen by the professional based on test performed at that time. in most cases my appraisals have been very good & in some cases filler, use of heat or other chemical insertion has been found or not present. the people that do my appraisals do not rely on their own input but if a question arrises they refer to people in the business as reference to verify. on some of my alex stones an appraiser had a new york jeweler send him one of his better stones for comparison to my material, at his cost & the results were that in some cases my stones did the color change better than the standard that was sent from new york-the appraisal reflects this. we all have our way of doing things & get in a comfort zone-ive found mine & it does work for me-some people have a lot to learn. my appraisals dont just show good value but justify that what i have bought are not learner stones-trust me i dont have trumps money but i do have connections that some never will realize-SHOP & LEARN-steve...
