Help me pick out an engagement stone

[bluntforcemama]

I feel more comfortable posting this here in the BDSM, rather than in the GB, because I need more open-minded opinions, and I think that you guys are better at that than anyone. It's true, most of you on here are better friends to me than a lot of people who are into more traditional sex, even if I'm not a hardcore in this lifestyle. Maybe it's the trust that I sense in all of you, I know it's a large part of your life style. So here it goes. Ya'll get to pick which stone you like best, then I think I'll send it off to CrystalHunting and have it mounted. So, give me a few minutes while I gather up all the stones I've picked out.

(cym, this means you, too!)

Padparadscha sapphires

In this color, sapphires tend to be rare, but they're natural, and they're gorgeous. Half a carat is about $100 depending on the quality of the gem.

Wow I am out of the loop I guess. I was not around so much then so I guess that is why.

Azwed: No, this is the first time I've even hinted at it. cym kept telling me to tell people, but I'm leaving that up to her.


Pink Tourmaline:

Personaly I think the Darker colors would be better for you. Suits your personality better and your skin is so light that they would stand out nicely.

I do like that pink Tourmaline though.

Dill was all for one of the padparaschas yesterday. He said it fit my fiery/impsh personality.

I've had something of a love affair with this type of stone ever since I laid eyes on it.

Citrine (darker than usual)

Citrine is usually lighter, and more yellow.

First off, congratualtions. Heck... sniffing.

Secondly, looked at all the stones. Darn, I cannot see any of those that totally fit you. You need one of rainbow colors, as there are so many sides of you. One of unique cut, for you are unique.

One of such beauty and rareness that it speaks Myst anytime people see it. Sorry, cannot pick one.

 

[bluntforcemama]

Merelan, How about Mystic Topaz?

[Merelan]

It says the item isn't available.... like you.

 

[bluntforcemama]

lol....

K, give me a second, and I'll paste them on here. You're gonna LOVE it.

 

[bluntforcemama]

..... ta da!

 

[bluntforcemama]

This is a really bad picture, but this is what I had picked out originally. It's that same Mystic Topaz, but I thought it would be too "foofy."

This is a better view of what the colors are like for the lighter stones: Mystic Ice, it's called.

Particulary the dark red and blue ones.

I really like that last one and the first one.

 

[bluntforcemama]

Azwed, what makes you think my inner self is so dark, hmm?

 

[Azwed]

Not necessarily dark but strong and vibrant.

Thats what I see in those darker stones.

Much of your artwork is full of those strong dark colors. None of that pansy, fluffy, pastel stuff for you.

How did that one bit of artwork with the violin and the gun turn out?
