Blue Merle Rough Coat Collie - rare or just popular?
Hello, I have a blue merle rough coat collie. Every time I'm walking I can get so many comments on his coat and color. Many people commented that it is a blue merle and so animated. It is a rare blue merle? Or is it only popular among people? Unrelated, but this dog is the sweetest, most snuggly dog I've ever known! And quiet as a mouse! I'm crazy about this dog! I read the article you provided in connection with genetic problems with blue Merles. Is 4 years old this week - so I'm guessing if you are going to be deaf / blind would ya? He has a very sharp ear can see very well. He is not a show dog, just my friend.
Are not uncommon, in fact they are increasingly common in most dog shows tri-color/sables that classic. People like the pattern, blue Merle Aussies in my area get much attention too. Http: / / www.akc.org / breeds / collie / index.cfm Blue Merle is not a disqualification or failure is one of the four accepted colors for coated collies rough as deemed by the AKC.

The Vivid Blue Gemstone
Aquamarine is a transparent, light blue or sea green stone that is soft.
Â
The vivid blue gemstone derives its name from the Latin term ‘Aqua’ meaning sea and ‘mare’ meaning water. The beautiful Aquamarine is the birthstone for the month of March and gemstone for 16th and 19th anniversary.
Â
According to legends Aquamarine originated in the treasure chest of mermaids and since then has been associated with the ocean. In ancient times aquamarine were worn as amulets by Greek sailors to please the God. The belief associated with the stone was that it would safeguard the soldiers on a voyage against the rough seas. Some also believed that is a preventive against seasickness and also reduces the effect of poison. Aquamarine was also thought to have a soothing effect on new marriages and helped the couple to become compatible. Aquamarine is deemed to bring joy and wealth to its wearer.
Â
Aquamarine is primarily mined in Brazil, Nigeria and Zambia. The largest and most highly valued aquamarine was mined in Brazil in the 20th century and weighed 243 pounds. Another noted aquamarine is 879.5 carats, sea green in color, is displayed in British Museum of Natural History. Aquamarine is also mined in areas of Africa, Sri Lanka, Afghanistan, Pakistan and Russia. In United States this gemstone is found in Colorado and it is the official gemstone of the state.
Â
The chemical composition of Aquamarine is (Be3Al2 (Si6O18)) and it belongs to the beryl family of minerals. It has a specific gravity of 2.68 to 2.74 and a Mohs hardness of 7.5 to 8. Aquamarine ranges from shades of blue, from pale to pastel, greenish blue to deep blue. The most precious aquamarines are those displaying deep blue color with no green tints. These are rare and therefore more valuable.
Â
Aquamarine is almost free from inclusions and often has good clarity. This is the reason why aquamarines are frequently cut with large step facets to display their flawlessness. The blue colored, inclusion free gemstone is less susceptible to cracks and nicks like the other gemstones. It’s clear and pale brilliance makes it a perfect gemstone for jewelry and it combines well with most of the jewelry metals.
Â
Aquamarine is always heat- treated to remove inclusions, which is a well accepted practice in jewelry industry. High temperature is used to remove the iron impurities from the gemstone, making it appear clean and pure blue in color.
Â
To keep the gemstone clean and brilliant you need to clean it with warm soapy water. Avoid using chemical cleaners, detergents and a lot of exposure to sunlight.

blue dogs are very common and accepted by national kennel clubs. some breeds will not accept them because the breed is know for something else. like the nova scotia duck retreiver, ridgeback, rottie, german shepherd. if you want a weird colour you can say that you are willing to adopt an odd colour if one pops up. but usually, people want the show dog look. blue collies and aussies are very hard to breed because they can pop up some very sick dogs if not done by an expert! also, eye colour is supposed to match the coat and skin colour, and they are also very hard to breed properly.
