    Give away as presents..........

    To children.

    Make a wind chime.

    Glue to the footpath
    & watch people try to pick it up.

    Ill study a fake to know why and hows its a fake (like coins) and use it as a comparison.. only one fake is required or none depending on the level of the fake and your expertise.

    To me gems are all about imperfections so i quest for beautifully included and unqiue specimens eps unheated multicolour stuff eg: green/blue emeralds .. anything too flawless really scares me off.. but i do love legit flawless stuff with FIRE and DAZZLE, LUSTER like a nice white diamond.
