I saw the famous Dresden green diamond at the New Green Vault few months ago. It is beautiful but not as green as I expected, more like pale blue with a hint of green.
norman's garnet collection, of course!! a faceted iridescent andradite (rainbow) garnet from japan-wowzer!!! a 6-ray star garnet-a beautiful translucent cab with 6 well-defined legs.
i cannot even begin to attempt to pronounce "phosphophyllite," harriet! maybe try it with a wadful of chewing tobacco in yer cheek? lol, just kidding....
so, harriet, what's that beautiful intense blue stone you have as your new avatar??
