I'm not big on checking out the 'Net for gemstones unless it's for research purposes. You really need to see the rock in person and examine it. IMO, still the best avenue for this purpose to see the local wholesaler/retailer in your area. There will be one for sure unless you live way in the sticks.

I'm not talking about your local retailer in the mall since they are basically small box formula stores. You need to find a place that has their own gemologists on hand and a person who works the front desk who also trips 4x a year to places like Jerusalem, New York etc for rock shopping. That's the place to go.

The reason why i'm telling you this because you are looking for an "orange" saphire which means
= fancy stones. Specialists like the people i'm talking about can aquire samples readily for your inspection at a better price than the rest.

Having said all this i'm sure that you can find fancy stones at www.bluenile.com

Good luck.

How much you looking to spend? I am probably going to be seeing my jeweler in a week or two. He gets me items at cost or a drop above. (Engagement ring cost about 4k and is appraised near 10k.) I can ask him to look for a specific gemstone in your price range.
