Yeah, that weight thing again. I do love seaplanes, though

What we do for pearls!
Tucson -- Woo Hoo! Maybe not as good as Tahiti, but if you like gems, pearls, beads and minerals, you'll be in hog heaven.
I bought many strands of dyed pearls from Majestic because they had unusual colors I hadn't seen. I always hold dyed pearls for at least six months because they might fade. Here is one where the color looks different taken from the left and the right. I moved the strands in between. I think it's due to the light source being in front and behind when the pics were taken.
I remember the shock I had when I went to look for the beautiful bright seafoam pearls I bought and found greenish white ones in their place!
