Re-Venus Talisman

[Guest guest]

Don't kill yourself Jay.....

 

When I was in India I really enjoyed hearing CZ refered to as American

Diamonds. I bought an unheated white 2c sapphire a couple of years ago

out of Thailand but is has kind of a light misty inclusion visible

to the eye-I think they call it a veil. Supposed to be totally

flawless. What do you do with bad gems-you hate to pass them on.

Maybe heat them and render them powerless? Give them to the crows?

 

 

Richard-thank you for the info-what finger is the best for the Venus

Talisman? Is silver better than gold for it? I am looking at the two

silver zircon rings on your site-one is a lotus and the other. Gold

is nice but am not that attracted to it. If it is better I will deal

with it.

 

Tucson, AZ Gemshow is just around the bend. Do you by any chance

ever go there? The whole city is one big gem show. It is amazing to

see. All the hotels are stuffed to the max- a store in every room in

some of them. A highlight a couple years ago was a man from

Afghanstan with 12 or so antique Dzi beads. Amazing to see them.

---It doesn't sound like you have a bad stone. A little veil is no big deal. If

that's ALL then it sounds like a good stone. Just use it for Venus (unless it is

much worse quality than you have described).

---White gold is better for Venus. Best finger for EVERY gem is " ring finger " of

right hand. If you already have a nice white sapphire then just use that and

save your money.

---The last time I DID the Tucson show was as AGTA member in 1985. It' a big

meeting with 10,000 gem dealers all looking at each other. " Hey! Wanna trade? "

That was always the worst time of every year, the Tucson Show was the lowpoint

of my life every year from 1980-1985. Glad that's over!
