Yes. Water balloon fights are much more fun. Jan G. <<But I decided, long ago, that jewelry doesn't count much in the scheme of things.

Garnets have a deep color...rubies are more clear. Garnets are fairly inexpensive, compared to other gem stones. I have a garnet ring, with about 35 stones in it...another Thailand ring. It's really pretty. I guess if I have a favorite ring...it's my Fire Opal. It's about 1 inch square, with 7 Opals, and little squares of Gold around the Opals. I have a 3 carat diamond solitaire, and a 4 carat (Emerald cut) surrounded with chip diamonds. But I decided, long ago, that jewelry doesn't count much in the scheme of things.

Mother had rubies and garnets both and sometimes I have to take them to a jeweler to see which is which, although generally I can tell the difference due to the garnets having a brownish tint to them, at least to my eye. > >Jack Childers in OKC > > >==== BLACKSHEEP-CHAT Mailing List ==== >Unsubscribe from the list: >Mailto:Blacksheep-Chat-L-request@rootsweb.com?subject=unsubscribe&body=unsu bscribe > >============================== >To join Ancestry.com and access our 1.2 billion online genealogy records, go to: >http://www.ancestry.com/rd/redir.asp?targetid=571&sourceid=1237 > ==== BLACKSHEEP-CHAT Mailing List ==== Unsubscribe from the list: Mailto:Blacksheep-Chat-L-request@rootsweb.com?subject=unsubscribe&body=unsubscribe ============================== To join Ancestry.com and access our 1.2 billion online genealogy records, go to: http://www.ancestry.com/rd/redir.asp?targetid=571&sourceid=1237 _________________________________________________________________ Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: http://mobile.msn.com
