    My heart goes out to those tens of thousands who have experienced
    the tsunami.  Most of us have no idea what such a disaster is like. 

    I wonder if we all understand the impact this will have on our
    business. You can certainly expect the price of gems from the area
    (and there are many) to increase as the supply decreases.  Frankly, I
    kind of hope that will happen (and know it will) as it will improve
    the lives of those who are still working in the business of mining
    and cutting gems from the region. My heart goes out also to those who
    will be unemployed as a result of this disaster. 

    Life is so full of "ups and downs" it's something we should all take
    as a "given."  However, while we still enjoy the profits from low
    cost gems purchased in the past, I hope we will all make a
    contribution to the charities involved in the rescue of the remaining
    people out of that profit. I plan to do so.
