Hello guys,

I have had several e-mails from people asking if their genuine Brazil copper baring Paraiba would now loose value because of the new Mozambique. I have seen this market do alot of crazy things in the last 35 years and no one can predict the future but you dont have to worry about your original BrazilParaiba loosing value. That wont happen although it will make it impossible to sell genuine for the valued price because people wont pay with the mozambique on the market right now at least on ebay. The auction houses and high end stores will still do well because of usa certs and verifiable international certs. Only time will tell about the Mozambique and all the hype, please dont take t.v. gem shows too seriously because they are retail no matter what they say. Just enjoy your gems and admire the beauty of this gem-nothing like it-except Benitoite(smile jake) Thanx,Pam
