As I said, I stated an opinion, and I thank you Pak Boedhi for your opinion.

My designation of the wood in the warangka as "superb" was based on the value placed on such a piece of wood, and the number of times I have seen a comparable piece of wood in any warangka, either old or new. This is brilliant wood by any standard.

I do not understand "Martapura diamonds". Are these the same as intan, or rose cut diamonds? If so, although they may be low priced on the scale of diamond values, used in a selut, they raise the value of the selut considerably in comparison with yakut, cubics, or natural zircons.
