[QUOTE="WalnLiz, post: 41137, member: 147"] G'day Mike,.... Nobody is arguing the price difference of "Gemstones." We are just clarifying what a "Gemstone" is, and keeping things in "Context". Agate is cheaper than Garnet, which is cheaper than Zircon, which is cheaper than blue Topaz, which is cheaper than Sapphire, which is cheaper than Ruby, which is cheaper than Emerald, which is cheaper than Opal, which is cheaper than Diamond.....etc, etc, etc....yadi, yadi, yadi. Like i say, to keep things "In Context", we are not going down the track of which "Gemstone" requires the greatest amount of "Toil" to extract or commands the "Highest" price. The issue here is " What is a Gemstone "....and Agate, whether you like it or not "IS" a Gemstone. To add to that, I "Personally" toil very hard at prospecting for Sapphires, Rubies, Opals, and also have a wonderful Agate collection of which I am very proud. By no means do i regard my Agate collection as an insult to myself.....sorry if that offends your viewpoint. Cheers Wal :) [/QUOTE]
