women who buy expensive bags, but aren't INTO bags...

I do too! I'm glad to find someone else on here who loves unusual stones too. I had to stop though when the only stones left on my list were Paraiba tourmaline and canary diamond. We don't have that kind of money lol.

One of my favorite rings is the smoke quartz. And if you get the right shade of blue topaz it beats anything else.
 
Smoky quartz goes with everything. I wish I had one. I do have some blue topaz, but not in the pretty blue you are referring to. Is it the bright medium blue (Swiss blue)?

I don't know the details. Mine is not washed out - intensely blue.

We should probably move to private message for any more talk about stones, as we've gone off topic here.
