It was a good pep talk, but when it came to the photos I thought I was looking at garnets or Rose d' France amethyst.

Yes Modo, the floral arrangement may have been the most impressive part of the photos. To bad flowers aren't "Forever." :wink:

BTW: If I ever loose my practical sensibilities and spend a few hundred grand for one of these beauties, I guarantee I'll grow an umbilical cord to the gemstone and it will never leave my sight.

I'll be under the covers at night shining a penlight on it saying, "C'mon dammit, do something. Moonwalk, feed me dinner, give me a back massage. I'm not paying you just to sit there. I can get some pink glass or cheap synthetic to take your place if you don't co-operate. Don't give me any rarity sob story. Convince me why I've lost my senses."

Anyway, I thought this was funny. :)
