@ChaiK, @Daisys and Diamonds,

I really like the colours of siberian amethysts - I don't own any though. Would love to one day!

No surprises here, I picked emerald

Then sapphires because they cover so many colours. In picking I am trying to be sneaky by including rubies in the sapphire group, hehe.

For the simple fact that sapphires and spinels come in so many colours I'm not surprised they are leading. But I too thought tourmaline would be higher because of the popularity of the paraiba colour.
