But now, it is summertime, the Soccer World Cup, everyone is friendly and having fun
Thank you!Beautiful color and setting!
We did - we are leaving soon. The atmosphere is very friendly, even at Russia/Spain match, everyone was very polite.Does that mean you've got tickets to the World Cup? If so, you're doubly lucky to own the gorgeous spinel and be at the sporting event.

Yesterday the Columbians lost to the Brits. I feel sorry for the Columbians, they are very sincere fans.
The top of performance, as I think, were the Japanese who demonstrated great game (but lost to Belgians at the end, 2:3). They left their locker room in immaculate state with the word "thank you" in Russian.
This... they were winning and lost at the very end. They were devastated, but what a spirit!
The spinel is prettier.Thank you, @leslie1956
Spinels vs rubies? Case-by-case, I think.
I never understood what was sitting in the Black Prince spinel of the British crown. Apparently, it is a ruby set to fill in a hole from the drilling - at one point, the 170-ct spinel was worn as a pendant!
