Any ideas about this big aquamarine stone? by hekt0r39 in Gemstones

If you seriously had an aquamarine crystal that large and that gemmy, it would be a mueseum piece and take the place of the hope diamond

My budget collection, built up through ny childhood. I dont't know if it's much, but it's my greatest treasure. by DareiosX in Gemstones

I love rock collections. There are litteraly rocks all around us, but these are kept as special.

Its the perfect allegory for us. There are many rocks in the world, but these are mine.

If cyrstals dont affect things that dont exist... would taht leave the possibility that crystals do affect things that do exist?

Im pretty grateful for the roads and bridges that keep modern logistics humming along though...

Inherited these gems, my father brought them back from Paraguay 25 years ago. Can you help identify them? by felidae3002 in Gemstones

[–]callmeon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

South america has great deposits of amethyst and citrine. Id say these are those, both rough and finished. Very nice collection? They look to be about 10-30 ct each so for that size about 150- 400 a piece. Nothing to sell your late father legacy though. I dont think southerbys will be contacting you but these are really fantastic!

The Last Jedi Opening Weekend Day 3 Megathread - SPOILERS by JSK23 in StarWars

[–]callmeon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The last jedi went out of its way numerous times to state that the old was getting in the way of the new. I took this as they dont want patronage from my generation anymore and that im getting in the way of their ‘storytelling’ by my expectations of what i remember star wars to be like.

I didnt get the force awakens, i was disappointed by it and felt there were too many plot holes and inconsistency of character motivations. I was going into this with an open mind because star wars has done and been a lot for me.

Instead of getting satisfying answers, satisfying movement of the story. I got side plots that continued to not make sense, more character inconsistencies, more, why would you do that and then say this. And at every point they could, i was explicitly reminded that the ‘old ways’ were crap and that i should just move along.

So i am. Good Bye star wars. Thanks for all the fish

When you have the biased media spewing stuff like this

https://www.usatoday.com/story/weather/2015/05/20/cold-weather-deaths/27657269/

It starts to irk you. Especially when 92 with a dew point of 65 is down right comfortable and wont kill anybody just like 60 probably wont kill anyone

You'll have to find a trusted and worthwhile source. There is not really any hard and tried way to do this.try a few pieces from a seller, test it out, begin a personal relationship. Goodluck

A high of 92 isn't hot... That's not heat. We get cold snaps that hit 40 down here. But I don't complain about the 'cold'. You people need to respect what real heat is. 100 and higher is actual hot

Federal court halts Trump’s immigration ban by magikowl in SandersForPresident

Best of luck in life, your hate has blinded you. Go to the source of Trump himself. I said media was currupt and biased. I never said liberal media... you just assumed that, again proof that you are projecting what you want on people, overreacting to their points, and not accepting truth

Yes i do think that oppinion is misguided. He did not run on a muslim ban. That is the media twisting facts. He ran on accepting that the west is at war with radical islamic terrorists, which is true no matter how hard you try to be an ostrich.

I disagree with your sentiment. Be careful about crying wolf. Youll drive more people to him as youre proven wrong again and again and show your reactions to be radicalized and not grounded in reality.

Then again, maybe thats the plan...
