    Dear Catherine, Many thanks for the "heads-up" about this remarkable
    exhibit. I visited the Bowers Museum in Santa Ana, CA just today, and
    it was well worth the 80-mile round-trip drive from my bench! 

    Any in Orchidland who are interested in the luscious color variations
    of precious stones, uncut crystals and faceted gemological specimens,
    spectacular finished jewelry pieces, and the awe-inspiring sculptural
    works of Mr. Marshall and Mr. Munsteiner will find the experience
    well worth the travel time. Here's a description which might
    tantalize: "Orchid Flower Sapphire Brooch with Spinels, Diamonds and
    Demantoid Garnets in Titanium is an extraordinary example of modern
    design with Sapphires of total weight 33 ct. from Montana and Burma.
    ESG Jewelers, Basel, Switzerland" (quoted directly from Light and
    Stone, the book accompanying the exhibit). These glorious items are
    only on display until Sunday, February 29, so time is of the essence.
    The Bowers Museum website www.bowers.org 
    will provide additional information and maps/driving directions. Enjoy! MAC
