Tucson gem show?

I love Cheryl! Sure, she gets a little over-the-too sometimes but I am never bored watching her. I think she is incredibly knowledgeable. I used to watch her at the other channel until she was “Gone, baby,gone”. She will be back at 200pm today with Pink Sapphires

Holy Moley did this thread ever go off topic?!?!

The USA government imposed a travel ban on travel to/from Myanmar. How do you think this will affect the price and availability of Burmese rubies, sapphires and jade?

Regarding the cuts of the tanzanite, it has gotten so boring. It seems like almost everything is a round/oval surrounded by a ring of diamonds. YAWN

I have a beautiful 6 ct niassa fissure filed ruby which was purchased from SLC . I love it but I would never consider it AAA. It looked just as pretty as the one they showed (and it was much much cheaper)

Agree about the parlor tricks. I have a couple of Alexandrite rings I bought from SLC. I can only see the color change when the ring is viewed under a black light. The ring is pretty, but I usually leave my black light at home

No more “magic rocks”, please

I think there was a time that most of those “gems” would have been not gem quality.

I watched most of the Royston turquoise show. Not my taste in turquoise. Too much brown matrix and not enough turquoise color.
