Questions & Comments

I don't know if age, will have anything to do with it, but I know I've had this stone about 30 years, this is a rare find, and then knowing someone held onto it for so long and it still has not been made into a fascinating piece of jewelry.

There is still the GIN available. That's what I did last night with an item that I really wanted, but just couldn't stay up long enough to wait to see what it was really going to go for.
