That was great!<br /><br />My fave fave fave gemstone are Sapphires, the dark dark royal blue ones... where if you hold them up to the light you can see the most beautiful blue! All my rings have these sapphires... just by coincidence i think. My fave ring is one my Mum gave me when my eldest daughter was born. It used to be hers. It looks like a wedding band but has sapphires spaced around inset into the ring.<br /><br />Have a great week!TashNzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02146884245899602417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-20199428865990705092012-03-11T21:17:37.803+11:002012-03-11T21:17:37.803+11:00Rachel, I definitely have a crush on Fabian.

Thanks for visiting, Joan, and for sharing such a fabulous smooch!<br /><br />My favourite gemstone is no longer a gemstone - amethyst. Wikipedia tells me:<br /><br />"Up until the 18th century, amethyst was included in the cardinal, or most valuable, gemstones (along with diamond, sapphire, ruby, and emerald). However, since the discovery of extensive deposits in locations such as Brazil, it has lost most of its value."<br /><br />It's so purple that I love it. :)Rachel Baileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08200504088343160284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-2530585216557607292012-03-11T17:43:20.900+11:002012-03-11T17:43:20.900+11:00Gorgeous scene.
