Today I met a man from Idar-Oberstein ....

[Pandora II]

Sounds like fun!

Just a quick word of warning - please be really careful about giving this man''s details, name or travel plans out on a public forum. One of my former colleagues had a gun put to his head in LA and plenty of people in the jewellery business have lost their lives while travelling with stock.

Gailey,
When I read the title of this thread, it sounded like the beginning of a punchline. "Today I met a man from Idar-Oberstein. . . " Ha!! Well anyways, sounds like you had a blast, and I hope you get to post lots of pictures.

Thanks Pandora

Yes, I had already thought about that an I won''t give any details out that he doesn''t want me to. I will check with him in a couple of hours and see what he says.

To my Californian PS friends, I owe you an apology. I''m not able to pass on any specifics of the trip I am afraid. I feel awful because I feel like I''ve led you on and that was not my intention. Pandora is right, it is not a safe world out there.

I will try to make up for it when I get my stones and take some nice pictures.

Mea culpa - and I''m sorry.

Roger Dery of Spectral Gems has a Morganite asscher to die for. Had I been in the market for a paper weight, I would have snapped his hand off. BTW that asscher is the same colour as my pears.

That colour is gorgeous. I''m not sure about an asscher-cut morganite though because of beryl''s lower RI.

I totally understand.

How fun! Congrats on the new stones!
