There are two kinds of light—the glow that illuminates, and the glare that obscures.

--James Thurber

With Leonid’s permission, I’ve created the PS Shining Light Award to acknowledge those members who not only share their diamond and gem expertise but also share their insight into the myriad personal issues that oft times accompany the process of purchasing a stone or a piece of jewelry and do so with compassion and infinite wisdom to gently illuminate our path to knowledge.

The first Shining Light Award goes to Dave Atlas aka Oldminer who really should change his user name to Guru Dave.

Members are encouraged to add to the list as you see fit.

Matata, thank you for posting this!

Oldminer' contribution cannot be overestimated.

I humbly and proudly accept. 
 
My endless thanks go to Leonid for creating this environment that permits my free participation.  I also thank the many other dealers, vendors, appraisers and consumers who not only share, question, and participate, but occasionally make one stop, think and write about things that are of far greater importance than diamonds and money.
 
My wish would be to have many other well qualified participants to further propel this great concept into even more prominence in the scheme of the Internet and of daily commerce.
 
I sure hope the shining light is not the headlight of an oncoming train!!!
 
THANKS TO ALL....

Some may not know that beyond this forum "Dave's the Go To Man". I've never heard a bad word. It's almost like he is taken for granted.

Cudos Mr. Atlas!
