Amethyst here too, but I also like garnets with the rich color! 🙂 I am going to paint “Birthstone” dragons for my family memebers… How Would you do a Diamond??? Mine is Amethyst, my girls are Peridot and citrine and my husband is diamond… 😉
Opa got this gorgeous four-foot high amythest last month. It greets me every time I walk into the office. I need to post a pic.
Oh, I bet that’s pretty.
I’m very fussy about amethysts. Which is why I never have any in jewelry. Everything I can afford I don’t like. I found a little store with these great pieces. Way too expensive for me. They had champaine jade, fossilized mammoth ivory, and a few other very rare items. Sooooo expensive.

Did you know garnets come in green? They just use the red one more commonly. 😀

Garnets come in a wide variety of colors including green. Green garnets are categorized as ‘grossular’ or ‘grossularite’ and the most well known are Tsavorite garnets discovered in Tanzania around 1967-68. They are very lovely and the color is usually a light, spring green but can also be darker toward emerald.
The other grouping of green garnets are known as ‘demantoid’. The brilliance of these garnets can rival diamond and because they are rare, they can be uber, uber expensive; but can you say stunningly, gorgeously breath taking? They are so beautiful, in fact, that the great Russian jeweler, Carl Faberge, used them any chance he could.
I happen to like green stones myself, particularly if they are natural and green garnet is one of my favorites 😀

😀 HEY! I have the same one too! I was hoping to get the GRIFFIN knife to go with it but never did. Still boxed…I can’t wait to find a place to move so I can expose all my treasures.
I had the plaque that it is on made so that I could hang it on the wall with style! lol My ex father in law has a wood shop! 😉 He is going to make me a wall sheilf so that I can relocate my breyers so that I can have more room for my future Windstones! lol 😛

Cool! Shows you how much I know about rocks…
Well, honestly since we’ve now turned your thread into something totally different. I guess you should. (Sorry, I’d love to buy the knife, but, I’m broke and not really collecting anymore. 🙁 )
Tis okay! I understand that. I am going threw my “junk” here and seeing what all I can put up on Ebay…. which I am nervous about. Its it pretty easy selling stuff there?
