I've just found this article - very interesting. http://gemwiseblogspotcom.blogspot.com/2006/07/cuprian-tourmaline-from-mozambique.html N x

I never mind your honesty, Meeshoo - I always think of you when I need info. Thank you for that, I appreciate it. I will email Rocks and ask for confirmation of the type of tourmaline it is. I'm glad you think it is a good price for the stone though - it is certainly very pretty indeed! N x

Last night I was giving my husband a drunken ramble about the history of tanzanite and how it's got a good bit of mining life left in it yet, based on the info on that site Meeshoo posted and he said, "How depressing. It was discovered the year before I was born and by the sound of it, it's got...

And by the way, I'm loving your tanzy haul!! N x

Wow! I love it when someone has a mega haul - lots to look at! Some lovely choices there! N x

Not at all - it was from Rocks, last year. I think I paid £189 for it, it's just over a carat of Paraiba. It is very lovely despite its window - thank you! N x

Help says they will replace or repair within ten days - here's hoping!

If I go onto chit chat now and see this situation being discussed, I leave without greeting anyone. Surely this is the best way forward for everyone? n x

That was my first attempt at Paraiba - it fascinates me how different the colours all are. I suspect it has a ****** big window, but I love it anyway! N xx

I know, I'm sure I'll be indulging any time soon! N x

Hiya Holly - sadly I've just noticed the paraiba has a claw missing so have contacted CS to see about a repair / replacement.....the green tanzy is AMAZING though... I keep going off to look at it. The gold weight is flimsy - comparing it to that blue one I was nearly laughing. But to be...

I have another paraiba in my basket - much cheaper but less unusually cut.. I might check that out too and bring myslef to decide between them. Any thoughts on them, people? N x

And a mad impulse buy from Sunday..... this was more expensive at £285 but I think it's lovely - a very pale coloured paraiba. The neon flashes are gorgeous. Says on the card 2.36 ct brilliant, but I think it might be the wrong card... surely this is trilliant? Also a piccie of it with its...

Here are my two new acquisitions, which I am pleased with - do tell me what you think please! First, a green tanzanite, 2.76 ct and 0.19 ct diamonds..... I think this is beautiful and the camera will not do it justice. it's a lovely irregular green with flashes of lilac and purple around it...

My boys are making me cards at school and trying unsuccessfully to keep it secret - that means more to me than any expensive gift. N x

Oh God, Matt is doing it on Rocks now... if you're a collector... methinks he spent too long at gems..... N xxx

I find the under £50 days make me sad.... so many lovely rings and yet, at size O they would swamp me and I'd be peed off at having to trek into town to get them resized.,.... but that's just me and my tiny fingers.... N xxx

I agree - the other day I saw a blue and black diamond in the 'ex demo' box for 122.... when I looked for it in clearance, it was way under a hundred. N xxx

Agreed - I am watching the same overpriced tanzanite being auctioned for about the fourth time. The sad thing is, some of them are lovely pieces and if they were reasonable prices, I would be tempted to indulge! N xx

They look lovely - I love green! N x
