"You have to not only be wealthy to own this, you have to be lucky to have the opportunity to purchase it," says gem cutter Michael Arnstein of the Natural Sapphire Co., which is selling the largest natural blue sapphire available in the United States.

Discovered in 1952 in the gem mines of Sri Lanka, the 129-carat rough sapphire crystal yielded an 80-carat sapphire in its first cutting. It was then sold to a British family and held in private ownership until the late 1990s. At that time, it was re-cut into a more perfect shape and with better symmetry to improve its light and color reflection.

I'll take two!

This is getting a bit more subjective, however this is a great blog.keep up the good work.

The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod's. It works well, but isn't as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that's not an issue, but if you're planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod's larger screen and better browser may be important.

Straight to your point and properly written, thanks very much for that data
