KPJEWELS says:I love the greens in this pick. I’ve never cared for green before but I love how it is being used in some of the fresh picks lately.

Smoky Rose says:Thank you! I’m sorry, is it Evelyn?
I’ve never been a big fan of green either, but it’s growing on me.
Still warming up to yellow. Orange I like when others use – like Julia’s from earlier – holy cow! – but I just can’t go there myself yet.

Jeannes Gems - Gem Chick says:Hi Mary,
I’m back for a minute. We have sun!!!
Love the greens (in case you haven’t figured that out yet.)I’m working on the oranges myself.
Beautiful pick. the bronzite is great with it!

Smoky Rose says:Thanks!
You have sun?! Enjoy. I ‘think’ we may finally get some tomorrow.
yes, somebody showed me the lemon chrysoprase recently – and then with bronzite (which I love all on it’s own, to begin with) with it. I wanna get some and play now.
Are you getting into the oranges?! Good for you! I may get there yet.

Jeannes Gems - Gem Chick says:well – let’s just say I have oranges in stock – madagascar something and the citrine rondelles are orangey. haven’t done anything with them yet – but they are beautiful. CAS was nudging me one day.

KPJEWELS says:Love them, they’re super. I thought of putting the lemon ice and the peridot with blue goldstone. Don’t now if it will work but it was a thought. I’ll know tomorrow.

KPJEWELS says:Yes, Mary it is Evelyn. I’m beginning to like a lot of oolours I never cared for before. That Egg Hunt did me in. I’m getting addicted to trying new things that I wouldn’t have given a thought to before. Good night.

J Yee smart chick says:by the way, anyone know why some lemon chrysoprase sometimes has that beautiful brown matrix like the ones you picked, and the others don’t??? just wondering…

Jeannes Gems - Gem Chick says:Thanks ladies!
Joyce maybe it has to do with where it’s mined or how much mineral there is – like turquoise. The hard part might be never knowing exactly what you’re going to get till it’s here.
