Do you have a favorite gemstone? I love blue, so lapis or tanzanite usually catches my eye.

I adore garnet!

I'm very patriotic....my birthstone is garnet and I like that plus I LOVE diamonds but my favorite gemstone would be blue sapphire red, white and blue.

I do love the blues and just bought the Jay King TS of the lapis/turquose necklace. I do like all shades of blue stones but blue sapphire would be my fave!!

As far as gemstones, blue topaz is my favorite. Otherwise pearls. (which I just can't call a "stone").

It's hard to pick a favorite! I love the really vivid gems--peridot, neon apatite, fire opal, yellow sapphire. If I had to pick one favorite, I'd say peridot. But why would I want to do that? LOL!!!

Love the green stones--chrome diopside being my fave, then emerald and love pearls too. I aspire for some golden south sea pearls. Love the moonstones and especially labradorite and all the jaspers.

I can't pick one I love so many- each one has its own beauty, I want them all!

I have always loved amethysts, but only if they are deep, dark purple.

I like them all, but, my favorites, aside from diamonds, are a good aquamarine and white pearls.

Sapphires. They are my birthstone.

My first love has always been turquoise. Then I love rhodolite garnet. I get every piece I see and just can't seem to resist it.

Blue is my favorite color, so of course I love the bloues: topaz, sapphire, lapis, iolite. But the others are so pretty and go with other clothes--I have a matching thing going on--that I love (and buy) them all!

I love Aquamarine but I like the really blue ones and they are just so expensive. I do have a lighter blue one.

Any color of tourmaline, especially if the stone is a cabachon.

I love most real gemstones. Forget the opaques and rocks. I love chrome diopside, alexandrite, morganite, tanzanite, kunzite, sapphires, fire opal, ruby, emeralds (good ones), all tourmalines, and so many more.

I'm bored with shows about morganite and kunzite though....I love what I have but these stones have been shown by a few networks ad nauseum.

My fave three rings are my London blue topaz, amethyst and black onyx. Other than that, I enjoy the gem I'm wearing at the moment. I don't own turquoise or tanzanite. Those will be my next purchases.
