Ooo. Please do, Molly. Larimar is a relatively recent discovery for me. I'd like to see more.

What a fun thread! I will have to add some pics as well. Lately I have become a little obsessed with the semiprecious stone (carnelian, labradorite, obsidian, etc) bead bracelets with charms (like Sydney Evan) that they make at a local boutique. I've been buying them up and stacking them and mixing up the colors a bit, though the store owners seem to prefer stacking 7, 9, 12 or more of the pale green ones (I forget what they are! Will have to ask).
I'll have to look through my drawers...,I also have a beautiful MOP set my DH bought for me years ago when he went on a trip. Might have some turquoise, too, though I'm embarrassed to say I may be the only one I know who doesn't love turquoise.
I do love opals, especially black opal and Fire opal and anything produced by Oscar Heyman. I tried on a ridiculously expensive opal, diamond and coral long necklace (not by Heyman) last week at London Jewelers just for fun (I got the feeling that the SA wanted me to try it on because no one else had given that necklace a second look --- it was SOOO gorgeous!!! The opals were like 3D holograms!)
I didn't realize that coral was so expensive....I got to the necklace because I am considering a pair of pink gold, diamond and morganite feather earrings which have a coral cabochon set in the middle, and I was told that the price was high because of the coral....surprising! But so pretty!

Will do! Unfortunately I own neither the necklace nor the earrings...."yet" on the earrings, I will probably get them. The necklace is $59,000 and not happening.
Found a pic of the earrings. I've tried them on twice and I adore them....a "must have" with my coloring (photo credit London Jewelers):
