[QUOTE="WalnLiz, post: 40194, member: 147"] "Firstly", Hty...a very impressive collection of "Gemstones" and one to be proud of......and "Secondly"....Mike,.. my apology to you as well. Seems like an apparently well versed gentleman in lapidary terms like yourself, would actually know what a "Gemstone" was. :o A "Gemstone" is a precious or semi precious stone that can be used in Jewelry when cut and polished. I can understand why you get quite animated when visiting Minerama events as it must be quite frustrating when everybody is selling "Gemstones", and you are the only one there who doesn't know what they are. I, like yourself, think it is important to keep "correct context", and to do so you must at least have an idea of what the "correct context" is. Polished chalcedony, aka, Agate, can be very rare, and some command large sums of money at "Gemstone" venues.......Have a good day, Cheers Wal. [/QUOTE]
