I had so much fun. Had to go to a couple of appointments today about 45 minutes from home. Left the house late. Was wearing jeans and Ugg’s-not my usual jewelry shopping attire, not that I have jewelry shopping attire. I think I combed my hair. While husband was at an appointment I decided to go walk to a jewelry store. Texted him to let him know where I was and to meet me when he was done. He waited in the car 
Anyway I went there because they carry loose colored gemstones-Peter Torraca, Rogery Dery etc. The owner was so nice and talked with me for an hour. The sales clerk was equally nice. I would have stayed longer but husband was getting hungry. He showed me all the Paraiba Tourmaline they had including a 1.92 round and a 3 ct cushion. I was in love. They were both already sold privately. He had the most beautiful colored one that was very small and way out of my budget. He must have had a dozen of different sizes and color intensity.
Then on to some other stones. Some beautiful diopside-I mean take your pick, round cushion,pear,emerald cut.He had kunzite,morganite,more tourmaline. And then one of my favorites- Russain demantoid melee. It was in a in a plastic rectangular display box and the 185 pieces were arranged in the shape of a Christmas tree. Just what I need for my tiara.
I plan on going back tomorrow because I have another appointment near there. Really. There were a few more things I wanted to look at. I am still in the infant stage of gemstone learning. I know enough to be dangerous and not enough to know what I’m doing. It was fun learning and the owner was very generous with his time.
