A student from New Delhi showed me some Kashmirs he had purchased last year.  They were indeed Kashmirs (we checked the inclusions) but they were one of the worse cut stones I'd ever seen.  Plus they were badly zoned with (at best) a fair color grade.  \n\nMy point is, the finest Kashmirs (and I've seen some at the Christies auctions) are the most beautiful, vivid yet velvety blue sapphires on the face of this earth.  But your average Kashmir could be as average as a sapphire from any other locality.  \n\nI understand the buzz about origin (Golconda Diamonds/Kashmir Sapphires/Mogok Rubies etc), but we shouldn't judge gemstones by their "genetics".  I've seen fine Burmese sapphires that would have knocked the socks of Kashmir enthusiasts.  \n\nPrices for fine Kashmirs? It's a seller's market! That's the best (and worse) thing about fine quality colored gemstones.  They are so genuinely rare (as opposed to diamonds) they are worth whatever someone will pay for them!

"White Buffalo" Turquoise\n\n\n\nWhen discovered in the Dry Creek Mine, north of Austin, Nevada, in 1993, they were not sure what it was. Because of its hardness, it was decided to send it in to be assayed and their suspicions proved correct; it was in fact White Turquoise. It was not until 1996, however, that it was finally made into jewelry. \n\nThe chemical name for Turquoise is Aluma Phosphate which, in its pure chemical state, is white. Turquoise takes on color via an intrusion of either copper or iron. In the case of Dry Creek ore, the slight coloration, when present, is the result of copper. The more intrusion, the darker the color.\n\nBlue turquoise forms where there is copper present, which is the case with most Arizona turquoises. Green turquoise forms where iron is present, the case with most Nevada turquoises. White Turquoise forms where there are no heavy metals present, which turns out to be a very rare occurrence. To date, no other vein of gem quality white turquoise has been discovered anywhere else in the world. When this current vein runs out, that will be the last of it. Because White Turquoise is as rare as a white buffalo, the Indians call it "White Buffalo" Turquoise. The White Turquoise is itself considered sacred and powerful. The jewelry-making  is an honoring or tribute to the "White Buffalo" Turquoise.

My last one in December.  I bought this 14K white gold charm for my Godchild as a Christmas gift.  The person I bought it from had lots of good feedback but didn't TRUELY explain the charm.  I outbid several people and won...this crappy, thin, bendable, hollow, lightweight, cheap heart charm.  I'm so upset.  It's probably worth about 1/3 or what I paid for it.  I was trying to save money using ebay but I ended up having to buy another gift for my Godchild and therefore spending more then what I had planned.\nThis was my only bad experience with Ebay.  All my other experiences have been quite pleasant and worth it.

well i dont know the whole song but the chorus "kajra re, kajra re, tere kali kali naina" is something like the kajal (meaning the eyeliner) on your eyes (naina) is dark (kali).....if uve ever seeen the video, then she dances with her pinky finger to her eye...eyes are a sign of beauty in india, and they romanticize everything....like the eyeliner on a woman's eyes.\n\nSorry i couldnt help more

Worth of course depends on how many people are wanting to buy it.  On of the best sources to get it out there and seen is to take a picture of it and sell it on ebay.  There is a huge huge demand for minerals/crystals of that nature on there.  I know because I buy alot of my crystals on there.  See if htat works for you.

SLIM considering some of the anti-femanine answers of yours I have read on this site. \n\nHowever I do think there are redeeming qualities, my only problem is why is it purple?

i don't know about that, but you can check out QVC-- www.iqvc.com and look at their diamonique-- i have many pieces and no one can tell they are not real.  Even jewelers sometimes have problems telling the diff (w/o that little eye thing).  \n\nhttp://www.qvc.com/asp/frameset.asp?class=F600&tmp=ddsn&cont=classF600&cm_re=PAGE-_-BRANDSHOPS-_-DIAMONIQUE \n\nit's also really inexpensive.
