I rarely go to Facebook, but I happened to today and found several photographs posted by Michael Valitutti.  He has some fabulous gem stones coming up the first week of October, blue opal, dark neon apatite, and some dark pink stone he doesn't identify.  Save your money up for this visit.  Give up lunch, whatever, you will want some of these goodies.

I am THE gem lover @depglass!  hee hee  Just curious... would you mind posting a photo of the pink stone?  I'm not on FB and I couldn't locate the page via google.  I'd like to take a stab at identifying it.  I aced my colored gem ID class at the GIA.  lol  Of course, I did have a boatload of instruments to help me in that respect.   Gem StoneGrinning Face  Also, did he say whether it was one he'd used before?

You're going to have to give more then just lunch.  His prices are ridiculous now.

He's on at midnight one day this coming week so he must have a TS.

@depglass  Thanks very much for the "heads-up" on Michael's upcoming shows.  I've been very pleased with my purchases from him over the last year (thanks to BlingQueen's posts).  Hope you enjoy the presentations!

@AliJoi5  I'd like to thank you for your extremely interesting threads on both native American silver and Larimar.  I've enjoyed both threads tremendously and feel badly that I'm not positioned to add anything of interest to either.  I do believe that I learned quite a bit and I'm most grateful for your contributions to this forum!

Hi, Bling!

 

It was so nice to read your post as I've missed "talking" with you!  I agree that Michael's prices have increased but I think folks are realizing the value of his settings, creativity and gemstones.  Looking forward to his next visit and hope you and yours are doing well, dear lady!

@Kachina624  Thank you kindly for your photos and information in both the native American silver thread and the Larimar thread.  I've been fascinated by both!
