Not the one in NY, the one in Carlsbad California.
They graciously allowed me to set up a tripod and take lots of pics of what colored gems they had on display.
The display changes often.

I took pics of 28 gems, and a separate pic of each descriptive card.
So there will be 56 pics posted.
First you will see the card that describes what you will see in the next pic.

Hope you don't mind all these pics but if you enjoy these one tenth as much as I enjoyed it live it will be worth it.

Please hold your comments until I post that all the pics are up.

These were all taken through glass cases so excuse the reflections.
They refused to open the cases for me.


Enjoy

I just noticed that a few are just over 100 kb so I must resize those.

Please stand by.

This 41 carat peridot seemed to glow in real life.

Okay this was the best piece in the house.
It blinded you from across the room.
There are so many diamonds that even a slight movement of your head caused about 5000 flashes of intense saturated example of every color in the rainbow to move slightly and change into 5000 other colors.

It was absolutely breathtaking.
I just stood there gawking for a long time.
I have only seen things like this on TV at the red carpet of the Oscars.

You MUST see something like this in person.
Pics do it NO justice.

Fascinating to see the shape of the synthetic before cut.
