BTW, we don't have cable or satellite here, so when I go down the block to cat-sit for the neighbors, I waste an incredible amount of time watching that channel that's nothing but gem auctions. Y'know, rotating stands full of estate stuff and then they pick out one or two super-fancy pieces to profile in hopes that you'll call in and bid.
They almost never focus on the stuff I really like, such as moonstones (one of my birthstones). I have one inexpensive, (because small & cloudy) ring that I've worn & loved for years now. I don't feel dressed without it. mr_cleome bought me a great pair of moonstone earrings one year when we were on vacation, too.
Supposedly, if you put a moonstone in your mouth, it'll refresh your memory. Or maybe just make you into a B-List
Avengers villain whose costume in no way resembles an actual moonstone.
