Hi Douglas,

    Without going too far off the tanzanite topic, cruise ships are
    notorious for leading their passangers to purchasing grossly
    overpriced garbage. The most heinous manisfistation of this, in my
    opinion, is art sales on-board. The passangers pay tens of thousands
    of dollars for "prints" of famous artists only to find out, when they
    return and have the pieces appraised, that they are not even worth
    one hundred dollars, including the frame. 

    Sadly, many people are still stupid enough to be led down such a
    garden path, without doing any research. Rather a version of the
    Emperor's New Clothes. 

    As to tanzanite, yeah, I've been shaking my head over that one for
    ten years. Much ado about a dinky little stone in a dinky little,
    prosaic catalog setting. Not my cup of tea. 

    Nel 

    In Tampa, where it is too hot, too muggy, and my bench is dusty from
    no use since I went back to school fulltime and now also working
    customer service to stay afloat. Ah, life, it's all good.
