    Dear Orchidians, Thought I'd ask the font of information that is
    Orchid for a little advice regarding gemstone buying in Brazil. I am
    off for a few weeks in March to visit friends and family in Brazil
    for the first time in 30 years and woudl like to know if anyone out
    there can recommend where to go to purchase Brazilian gems from the
    source. I speak fluent Portuguese so communication is no problem but
    where to go and whom to see isafter all these years. I would prefer
    them already cut and am not looking to spend a huge amount of money,
    around $1000US or so. Any ideas out there? Any help would be greatly
    appreciated as my time will be very tight and most has to be spent
    with family . Thanks so much. Please contact me directly at
    msan40 AT aol.com or on Orchid.
