I couldn''t believe this rubbish!

[Pandora II]

I was listening to Radio 4 the other morning in the shower and they had some woman on talking about Tanzanite.

Now Radio 4 is probably the most reliable BBC run radio station in the UK and their reporting is of very high quality.

Anyway, this woman was telling everyone how tanzanite was THE rarest gemstone on earth, was nearly as hard as diamond and stops you sleepwalking.

There was a load more, but I can''t remember it well enough - but similar vein...

FI was rather worried by the shrieks of rage from the bathroom.

Why do these people get away with spouting such rubbish?

Good grief.

No wonder some people show up on PS with their facts so confused!

 

[Kismet]

Did you send them a stern email berating them for their crappy reporting?

 

[chrono]

Gee, I''d be upset too. Can you call the radio station and correct them?

Good Grief,

Please call the radio station and set this lady straight!!!

I agree, no wonder so many are misinformed!!! Wonder where she received her information from!!!!

Sounds like the lady ripped her info right from Jewelry Television! Ridiculous.

I am assuming this lady was a self-appointed expert. What a crock! I''m guessing she was a metaphysical type? Let''s just hope she throws any Tanzanite she may have in an ultrasonic cleaner seeing as she thinks it nearly hard as a diamond.
