~~I guess..with any jewell they can come in variants of colours..regardless of species..they are all to do with carbon..and the periodic table..so..will have to look this one up!..~~Yellow..sapphires...intriguing

A broach that was my grans. It is a cameo broach, but the background is black, rather than the usual caramel colour. Means the world to me. Got a hospital visit tomorrow, and will wear it for good luck, as, if she is watching over me.

I like pearls and moonstones and white opals and blue topaz.... I like diamonds too, but the only one I have was my Mum's which she bought 2nd hand with her big win from bingo.......it has a black flaw in it, but I just think that she was a coal miners daughter so it is really appropriate...

~~Flaws make things individual..and yes very appropriate...Sally.
