You are right.Thanks for your advise I will do that. Kathycat
Thanks AR8Jason I think you are right it is garnet.
Thanks AmberRose for loving! I'm in contact with the Senior Editor of Collectors Weekly about my visit to the Juwel Museum in Germany. I'll hope it will become a very intesting story nice to read for our fellow jewel collectors.
Bratjdd thanks for loving!
