Whatever your opinions are on that, I'm interested in it, BUT, don't have the mindset for it to 'work' on me, if that makes sense. It does seem to have taken a hold with some presenters though, Lynn, for one. So, she could have stayed. Having said that, if she was / is of the "loving" mind, maybe she saw things in the company that went against her principles.

I think its a load of old nonsense to be honest. There is no scientific evidence whatsoever that it works.
Yes, I do believe minerals have some health benefits - after all, we consume them in our diet every day (iron, magnesium, etc).
BUT they have to enter the bloodstream (ie, be swallowed).
I do not believe that balancing a gemstone on your big toe, or placing something under your pillow, will suddenly rid the word of rabies, cancer and ingrowing toenails.
Another cracker of a word salad with a dressing of BS from LC just now, introducing Black Spinel (again...). The world of Lindsey Carr logic goes like this...
Black Spinel has the same crystal structure as a diamond so when you cut red Spinel in a round brilliant it looks like a red diamond, purple Spinel looks like a diamond. If you looked at prices of black diamonds in the same sizes as we've got for you, you'd be looking at tens of thousands of pounds...
So much wrong with all of that. Really. Sadly, it sounds plausible if you didn't really know or listen.

My Ford Mondeo shares the same design as a Ferrari in that they both have an exhaust pipe.
Therefore, my car is a Ferrari

On a serious note, it really annoys me when they say "shares the same crystal structure as a Diamond".
They know EXACTLY what they're doing - and they know EXACTLY how people with little gem knowledge will interpret that comment.

Lindsey Carr's brain cell was trying its best earlier this afternoon.
She sold a 'Nimalani' ring and said. "This is brand new - it's never been on before" - followed by "This is the best deal we've ever done on this piece"
Well yeah Lindsey, it would be if it's never been on before...................

Yet another 'can't pronounce words' person? Let's see. Labdorite, Amaz-on-ite to name but two, and I know Jim can't say Nilimani either.

Lindsey comes out with eight kinds of nonsense and struggles to pronounce words she's using every time she's on the box. Sometimes I do wonder about her....
I can't watch for more than 2 minutes when she's on because I find her so annoying. Years ago, when they had some decent presenters who had good knowledge of what they were selling she wouldn't have made the cut. It just illustrates again how low they've sunk.

I don't think it's a case of mispronunciation with Lindsey. I think it's more a case of she's still learning how to speak English.
Rumours are, when Lindsey had kids, it took the kids ages to potty train Lindsey.

Jess Foley is on form today too:
"When these are gone, they're going to be sold out".
Thanks for that nugget of wisdom Jess.

That's definitely one of the words she can't get her teeth around! Another one is 'all' - which I've noticed comes out as a cross between 'all-well' and 'hall'. She drags out individual words so much that we'll need a translator soon to work out what she's on about - and in the meantime we could be missing out on the jade bargain of the century (although I have to admit this is doubtful).Well thank goodness that's over for a short while. After all the times that Lindsey Carr said "sayul", I was close to going outside to punch a ladybird.

Not a chance of that. If he sells it too cheaply, the 'Chinese are screaming out" for Jadeite - so they'll no doubt snap the lot up.
You know, the same Chinese that sold him their s**t in the first place.......
Just like the wine, I mentioned.

Probably what the Chinese are actually screaming out for is for Jade to take the jade and clear off. They must be as sick of it as the viewers are.

Aw heck. Today's schedule currently shows LC as presenter from 11:00 - 19:00...blimey.
She probably didn't realise how long she would be on for. I doubt she can count to 8.
This is a throw away comment, but of the three presenters who are quite the topic here (can't call DT a guest, he never leaves), I think Lindsay is the lesser of the three evils. Rather hear her than the other two. She could be a tad more professional , but at least she doesn't try to eat the camera every time she opens her mouth, or make you JADEd with their lectures

She's one of the biggest culprits for dodgy claims though. She claimed earlier that a comparable Kimbie candle would be "three to four hundred pounds elsewhere".
Righto Lyndsey!
I may disagree with that comment, Kimbie probably coz a penny a candle to make, by child labour. I could say the stones are dug out by kids, but that may be a bit much. A minor miner mining.
