Montana sapphires and tsavorite were on commenters’ minds this week
“So…if Malachite is leaping back into fashion, does that mean Malachite & Azurite or, better yet, Malachite and Chrysocolla will be the must-have for 2018?” —Sarah on “Suddenly Everywhere: Malachite”
“I have been a fan of Montana sapphires for many years, and am glad to see that an article has finally been written extolling the beauty of these stones. Montana sapphires are beautiful and a bargain compared to their deeper colored cousins. The colors also work so well when mixing them with other stones, and like other sapphires, they do come in a variety of colors. Because the stones are lighter and more translucent, they refract the light better than the darker variety. The only downside I find is that supply is limited, and there are very few larger stones.” —Tom Byelick on “It’s Official: Montana Sapphires Are a Thing”
“Just a quick comment on an otherwise excellent article. The Tiffany cobblestone pendant and earrings are set with Yogo sapphires, not Montana sapphires. Yes, I know the Yogo mine is in Montana, but they are very different sapphires.” —Jim Adair on “It’s Official: Montana Sapphires Are a Thing”
“[Tsavorite is] an absolutely beautiful gemstone. It is not popular or known to middle-class customers. Most love to see it but do not tend to spend money on it.” —Shiv C on “Are You Tsavorite Savvy?”
“New Tourneau tag line…‘Time to move’ ” —Henry F. Kennedy on “Tourneau Looking for a Buyer, Report Says”
