    And then again.....I have a couple of syn blue sapphires that just
    tweak my heartstrings every time I look at them... Unlike a lot of the
    syn ruby and sapphire, these two have a *nice* cut....and they just
    "sing"... 

    I also know that anything natural/unenhanced, that I could ever
    think to buy (if I could even find them unenhanced) wouldn't even
    come close...

    And AGTA, GIA and the rest of the lot...
