Gorgeous spinel and touramaline. I like the white flower photos.

Chrono, I felt really weird asking Barry for a grey stone! He told me that I wasn''t the only one so I guess I''m not so unusual afterall.

Mochi, yingh, CharmyPoo, Magenta, and Lovinggems thank you so much! I have a few hibiscus that I want to try to take pics with but by the time I get home they''re almost totally closed up. Maybe I can snap some more this weekend.

Thank you babysteps! I must say that it''s taken a lot of practice taking the pictures and learning how my dinosaur of a camera works. I still think I have a long way to go. Sometimes I can get really close in and the pics are fine and then sometimes I can''t, they''re blurry and it changes the color tone from normal to pink, which I find odd. Generally the outside shots have been easier for me.

I have better pictures!

Yes you really do!! WOW I think your photos are great. What did Barry call that color (of the spinel) ? Royal Blue?

He didn''t really name a color other than looking like a tanzanite under flourescent light. I asked for grey and he said this was it, not sure he has anymore rough

, so from there on out it was referred to as a grey spinel.

I''ve attached his picture of the stone.
