    When I had my office downtown Toronto a client asked me to reset a
    Tanzanite into another mount..I looked at it and it was too perfect!
    I quickly questioned my client about her friends' stone...she said
    "we know all about it" she bought this Purple stone for only $6,000
    from a store owner who had halogen lights all over it.
    Cancun..St.Thomas..Martinique, all the same pushy sales. They stand
    outside the doors trying in vain to catch anyone walking by, I know! 

    She paid the US dollars in full and brought it back home to Toronto.
    my client doubted its quality and asked her appraisor to look at
    it..he said "he could buy 50 of them for the amount she paid..Quatrz
    for $150.00 EACH"..when in another ountry..."buyer beware!"... 

gerry!
