I was just messing around with the photo editing stuff and this was the picture I happened to select—and it’s a piece I really love. The stone is called chrysacolla and it’s a gorgeous green and blue with really vibrant tones. Want to take a closer look? Click here.
Great guesses, you rockhounds! For those of you still trying to decide which type of gemstone this is, here’s a little hint:
May’s traditional birthstone gem,
Is a close cousin to this stone.
And a clue about the color
Manganese gives it its red tone.
Leave any guesses or insights in the comments section below the post. To read what has already been guessed, here’s a link to the previous post. Check back Monday when we reveal this stone’s identity!
If you happened to purchase a diamond between January 1, 1994, and March 31, 2006, you may be eligible for a small portion of the $295 million settlement with DeBeers. The settlement is part of an agreement entered in to by DeBeers for anticompetitive practices while not directly admitting to any wrong doing.
While some are claiming that you could get several hundred dollars for as small of a purchase as $2,000, it simply does not add up for me, especially once the lawyers get their share.
At any rate, if you would like to be a part of the class action lawsuit, all you need to do is fill out a claim form before March 19, 2008. If you want a shot at getting a few dollars from DeBeers head over to the Settlement Website and fill out the form there. If you have any questions or need assistance just call us here at the store.
