Very interesting, thanks for posting.  The picture idea is a good one, but I guess that can't be done due to copywrite issues can it?  Because someone else wrote it?  Lol, I'm not sure how all that works.

Actually as long as credit is given to where the info is supplied it's fine with me. That way it doesn't appear the post was written by someone else. She's not taking credit for it.

If you guys are interested in gems and their uses with photos, I could probably write something up quickly and use photos in the article. Just let me know!

That sounds wonderful, Melissa.  Although if you want some help, I could google some photos for you.    Lol, I'd feel bad if you had to do all the work when I seconded a suggestion.  I feel like I should contribute too.

LOL I'd always have something to hold over you! *evil laugh*  >:D
If you want to google some images for me, that would be great. There's absolutely no rush though.
I've got plenty to do on this site in the meantime. But if members would actually like something like that they
could reference or print out for there own reference, I would be happy to do that.

Lol.  I will google some images of the first few.  I'll minimize them too at maybe 100x100?  I'll see what I can do over the next few weeks, Melissa.  I'll maybe get Nick in on it too.  Lol.

That's fine Cait. 100x100 would probably work really well.
