I really hope that i too am proven wrong.  Brazilan Ruby, if this is what the guy sold it to you as then he is not lying, that is the name given to the Red (pink/cherry pink) topaz or fire type opals, it is very distinctive in colour, the opal should not reflect any flashes of colour bar the main one. the red (pink) topaz should have a clean cut and clarity.  To the trained eye the difference is very obvious, but both stones lend themselves to be faceted.

but good luck in your quest.



I did not mean any animosity by my prev post. but diamonds (or gems in this case) are a girls best friend.. :D  I have a range of them and now after this thread I am back on the collecting trail, shhhh dont tell you know who: :) ;)



None taken Loz I can assure you :)

Tink - Mrs H says she knows where you live. She's on Messenger to the Bournmouth Crew right now asking if she can join them.

Having e-mailed Infinity, they have asked to be a Messenger Contact so we will be able to chat to Zeke and Sabri at any time - how good is that. Every cloud DOES have a silver lining :):D :)

Surely though the jeweler in the UK should have identified the stone as a Garnet then?

H- I think your reaction and subsequent admission of a mistake is really brave!
If Mrs H loves the ring and you feel like Zeke gave you a good deal thats all that matters- surely?
I wish her well to wear it.

She does Cavfan and there is absolutely no doubt in my mind that Zeke gave us a good deal - he always does.

I should know the final outcome in about two weeks.

Thanks for all your kind words.
