Stupid Question

[Gailey]

I so get this! ``Sweetheart, how do you fancy moving to Canada?`` Says Mr Gailey, ``Sounds great`` and off we go. Can we buy a phone when we get here? Of course not, it took weeks and weeks. And don`t get me started on the laptop ......

 

[Harriet]

I am trained to analyse everything to death (philosophy, tax law), and I do. For some reason, it doesn''t happen with gems.

 

[Dreamer_D]

Yah! I love this stone and I am so happy you are going to see it in person! Can''t wait to hear your opinions.

 

[platinumrock]

I'm not sure if you're a bezel fan, but this would take care of the snag issues.


ETA: Umm..I just realized I posted on the wrong thread. Dreamer, if you see this, this is for you.

 

[chrono]

I was ready to go bald tearing my hair out with miserable paypal issues but that''s settled now. Hopefully, it''ll be shipped tomorrow and I''ll get it before the end of next week.

 

[innerkitten]

Hope everything else goes smoothly and that the stone does not disappoint.

Don''t you just hate it? The time you find out there''s a problem, is when you want to make a purchase. It''s happened to me twice now, makes me want to spit!

I had that issue with my last purchase. It is annoying.

 

[chrono]

Wahoo! It''s been mailed out. Now I just have to track it and wait...and wait...and wait.

 

[FrekeChild]

I can''t wait to see it. I hope it''s everything you want Chrono!!!!

Don''t let Canuck-gal see it, I suspect she''d take it in a heartbeat!

HI:

, gotta be fast around here!

It looks pretty sweet Chrono; look forward to your RL impressions.

cheers--Sharon

 

[chrono]

Thanks, Freke.

Sharon, I like your orchids.
You wouldn''t really take my tsav, right? ....right?

[Gailey]

Chrono, sorry for the mini threadjack, but,


Sharon, did you ever find yourself a big old Morganite?

How long?? From Africa, right? Guessing longer than a few days, then.. but the anticipation..

 

[chrono]

Don''t worry about the mini thread jack.

Ice, I''m thinking 5 to 7 days, so maybe Friday or Monday.

I will be waiting with you. I want to know what you think about the stone in real life. I am excited about it, and I am not even the one getting it!

 

[chrono]

Due to a mess up by the shipping company, the stone only just shippped even though the vendor dropped it off 1 WEEK ago!

 

[FrekeChild]

Ugh. Jerks. Any idea how long it will be now?

 

[chrono]

Probably one week from today, which means I''ll be waiting for 2 weeks now.

 

[redfaerythinker]

Oh no! That''s terrible!

Well, I hope the old saying holds true here, "good things come to those who wait." Sorry about the delays. That stinks!

That bites!

 

[Cind11]

Awww, that''s too bad. I''ve been waiting to see your stone too. Remember the 1.87 stone we were talking about on Harriet''s thread? When you say it turned lime green indoors, was it the color of the Pokey Special would you say? I''ll be back from my vacation on Sunday and I''m still thinking about this stone if it''s still available.

 

[chrono]

The pokey special is green. When I say lime green, it means yellowish green.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lime_(color)
See the HTML and web green example. It is sort of like that indoors.

 

[Cind11]

Hmm, if it has yellow as a secondary, then I don''t think I''d be interested in it. I''m glad you told me that. Hmm.

 

[Harriet]

Greens and blueGreens are the way to go.

 

[chrono]

There is no yellow secondary outdoors but for some reason, it likes to show a yellow secondary indoors. Per Gene, the stone should only be judged under natural lighting but I can't handle any yellow tint indoors no matter how hard I try to drill that into my head.

 

[chrono]

It''s here!
