I've known people to put tanzanite on boys and thats more girly if you ask me, buy it and if its too girly sell it too me, its a good exuse for me to buy one, lol, I do want one but I've spent £80 on nappies today, they were very special nappies tho!
the 'fire opal' in the link looks more like a ruby to me, my fire opals are very amber/yellow/orange and my rubys are red/orange/cerise/dark pinky
the fire opals are lovely! as are the emerald and sapphire. My tanzanite ones are both very different in that 1 of them has hot pink in it and the other is just very purply.
If I'm honest I agree with Jan, but she insisted it was fire opal! My tanaznites are also very different, but I think that's just the way with the mottled minkees! You could get a Ruby that was very pinky, or one that was very reddy orange!
Jan your tanzanite with hot pink in it sounds lush!!!!!!
I really like the ruby but asked the same question a while ago about putting it on a boy and most people thought no. But like a couple of you have said, I think they vary. My Fire Opal is very purpley and I will happily put it on Ben.
