Gem of a job
January 11, 2007 :: Posted by - admin :: Category - Uncategorized
Having stones on the head is not a bad thing at all, at the least, not for gemologist K.N. Moorthy. The 69-year-old really loves gems, and takes every chance to share his passion for them. His home is evidence to his interest, with every accessible space and corner crammed with different types of stones, rocks and gems.
“My curiosity in gems was sparked by an event in my childhood. I was bitten by a centipede while I was sleeping and in great pain. My father, who used to wear many rings with stones on them, took one off and wiped it on the wound. And the pain stopped”.
