Just when you think it can't get any worse........

In the end it wasn’t even Paraiba tourmaline, it was just an agate after all the guff. Yet another lookie likey.

Am I dreaming, or was it just a short while ago they were telling us that selling Paraiba in any quantities was a thing of the past? Is this the same syndrome as telling us regularly that Tanzanite was becoming rare, when nearly every day there seemed to be tons of it being shown on TJC and Gemporia? And lo and behold, it's still being flogged today.

Obviously we have all had the same dream!!

I didn't see how the second coming went, but even if, by nature's own 'hand', all gemstones are rare: except quartz and jade They can ALWAYS pull them out of the air, and yet still call it rarer than hen's teeth and 'this is the last of the last of': think Argyle. That's long gone, hasn't it

Ooooo. And yes, I've said it before and before and.... But. It bugs me no end when everything in the 'slightest' shade of Paraiba is equated with the original. IF this were.... it would be.... Two of my aunts are twins. They look alike, but are NOT the same.

A bit like how incredibly rare Jadeite Jade is yet everyday here comes more of it!
