Thanks, petals! Again, you could contact Valerie and ask her what moonstones she has for XXXX amount of money, and she would find the best parcel of moonstones to choose from. Just an option. Yeah, I know what you mean about peridot. Only once have I seen a TDF peridot from Afganistan that Valerie set in a ring. It was expensive because the color was so rich and pure. Peridot....when it's good, it's great, when it's not, it's rather blah.
