Shannon aka Silly Chick says:WOW!! Into Faves! Just placed an order and now wish I’d put in some of the Brown Rhodo! It really works with the Variscite and the African Opal(one of my top 10 on LB) – This is a Knock Out!

Jeannes Gems - Gem Chick says:just reread what I wrote last night at midnight and it makes no sense. “never said this is a fav” I have no clue why I wrote that – this most definitely is a favorite!

Jeannes Gems - Gem Chick says:Wow – I am so brain dead – just reread last night’s comment and it makes perfect sense… My previous comment was mostly just complaining about not ordering, but I didn’t comment on your pick, Susan. So my next comment was just telling you it is a favorite!
Please forgive me again – you know I’m rarely up that late. waited for Sam to get home from prom at 2 am and then took larry to the airport at 6.
