    Hello, I've read some of the archive postings about how important it
    is to be educated when buying gemstones.  However, it's tough when
    you're first starting to get a good feel for what a fair price
    should be for various stones.  Can anyone recommend sites or
    contacts that are reputable and wouldn't rip me off?  I know about
    thaigem.com and creativegem.com but since I'm not experienced, it's
    tough to know how these sites stack up.  Also, any recommendations
    on books or web sites that might help me get up to speed in 
    understanding price & quality would be appreciated.
