The last one, tourmalines. I am going on a business trip to NYC, but will take Friday off to wander in the diamond district. Can''t wait!

If your collection mysteriously disappears, I did NOT take it...

Seriously though, you have some fantastic stones. Wow!

Can you tell me about the last tourmaline in the tourmaline family portrait?

TL, thanks for your appreciation. I enjoy taking the photos and my only concern was try not to be too braggy

I am taking quite a few stones with me to see if I can find them new homes.
