  - I'm not keen on Impact, but the fact that they brought them back and then dropped them again is just lame. - Mop (198 lbs) Jun 24, 15:37 1
    - I agree on your IM. They've tried so many times to get Doom Patrol going and it just doesn't work for whatever reason. -- nm - Remlik Jun 24, 15:44

- that's gorgeous! I love unusual stones. -- nm - loosilu Jun 24, 14:34
- Like this? -- (link) - Epiphany Jun 24, 14:31 12
  - Yep. Gem quality stuff is only found in California. I can't remember specifics - TWuG Jun 24, 14:35 11

        oh, gorgeous. please post photos when you can. -- nm - loosilu Jun 24, 14:49
        
        Can you show us photos of it when it's done. - Epiphany Jun 24, 14:48 6
        
        Sure. It might be awhile. I'm not sure when I'm giving it to her. Our anniversary is Oct and her birthday is Nov. - TWuG Jun 24, 14:53 5

  - It does. Blue under UV. -- nm - TWuG Jun 24, 14:36 6
    - cool. the cut stones are crazy expensive (just looking on eBay for a general idea) but the raw stones would be cool to have set also. -- nm - sycor Jun 24, 14:41 5
      - I was fortunate to buy at a good time. I had the same good fortune when I bought my wife a tanzanite. - TWuG Jun 24, 14:47 4
