Did you know…

One of the most endearing stories of giving precious stones to your love can be traced back to the Emperor Penguin? When the male desires to court a female, he often presents a single stone that he selects to be suitalbe for his intended. He then lays it at her feet as a gift. If she accepts, then they mate for life! And very often, the stone is kept and used to crack open the eggs at the birth of their offspring. So, during this holiday season, remember, whatever precious gift you give, be sure it's from the heart. Happy Holidays!
