[QUOTE="WalnLiz, post: 72513, member: 147"] The lighter the pink the better as a general rule when it comes to the jewelery trade. Same goes for the reds as the darker ones don't reflect as much light through the facets when cut and tend to look more black than red. The green is more than likely olivine and the Nicholson has been known to carry a few very small sapphires. The blue from the pic seems to show a worn crystal edge on the right side and if this is the case my bet would be a small piece of corundum.( opaque sapphire). A larger pic showing the right hand side of that stone would make it easier to give an exact identification. Wal. [/QUOTE]
