A few of my favorite things!

alli_esq Ideal Rock Total Posts: 697 Last Post: 11/14/2009 Member Since: 3/18/2008	Hello! After lurking around here and looking at all of your gorgeous jewelry, I thought I would come on and post some of my favorites. Of course, I'm still a LIW, so I don't have the most important piece , but I have some others that I do enjoy. Here is my Judith Ripka Fontaine smokey topaz ring that I wear almost everyday. (hope this works!) ____________________________ "You seem very calm for a woman who's getting married, I said & she nodded.

Thanks for the correction, though--I feel silly now! Sage Ice is one of the names of the stone-I think it's also called a prasiolite (sp?)... ____________________________ "You seem very calm for a woman who's getting married, I said & she nodded.

Thanks for telling me--it was a gift and the person who gave it to me told me 'smokey topaz!' Thanks for the correction, though--I feel silly now! Sage Ice is one of the names of the stone-I think it's also called a prasiolite (sp?)... Not silly at all - in the past it was often sold as topaz, although less common now. Topaz is a much harder gem than quartz and a whole different species which is why it shouldn't be sold as such. I love smoky quartz, my sister has a beautiful one my grandmother gave her that I covert like crazy! 'True' Prasiolite is very rare, and that looks like a nice big clean one. It's the only true variety of green quartz. Sometimes it's called 'Green Amethyst', although most green amethysts on the market are just heat-treated or irradiated amethyst. Here's a pic of a 'supposedly natural' (not my words) prasiolite crystal - it's a very pretty colour and looks similar to yours going by your pictures. Do you have any close-ups?

I don't have another picture right now--I will take one tomorrow if I can, but it's very hard to get a good picture of the stone; it's got a definite green tint in real life, but it's also very clear and picks up whatever's around... thank you for all of your compliments! I wish I had thinner fingers so when I eventually do get a ER (whenever that is), the stone would look bigger ____________________________ "You seem very calm for a woman who's getting married, I said & she nodded.
