    This is a very interesting and thought provoking thread. When I first
    started buying gems last year, the first batch I naively bought was a
    group of eight gorgeous rubies from Myanmar. They are absolutely
    stunning and I've been planning to make something nice for my
    in-law's ruby wedding anniversary (which happened earlier this year),
    as soon as I can afford the gold to do so. I often look at them as
    they are so pretty but now that I've been reading this thread and the
    articles that people have posted links to, I look at them with
    different eyes. 

    It's like many such thought provoking issues, you read someone's
    views on it and wholeheartedly agree with what they say and so you
    decide to stand on that side of the fence, but then you read someone
    else's opposing view and also agree wholeheartedly with what they
    say and as such are left not knowing which side of the fence to stand
    on! 

    I'll continue to read this thread and people's views with interest
    in the hope of understanding where I stand.
