Goddlefrood:

I'm sure it's vile, probably akin to Earl Grey tea, or the one 
you said. Excuse me, I'll be back shortly, feeling queasy.

Goddlefrood after a brief lie down:

The stone was cracked when we first came across it, and when 
it is noted as being worn by Tom Riddle in HBP (in Chapter 23 
- Horcruxes), it is not described particularly thoroughly. 
Some years ago, in fact as one of the first things I ever 
did in HP fandom I located a picture of a ring that would 
possibly correspond to the Peverell ring. Oddly enough it 
was discovered in the village of Snape in England. Said 
village has a website at which the picture of the ring I'm 
thinking of would be found. This link:

http://www.snapevillage.co.uk/aboutsnape.html

goes to the page with the ring on it. I thought this to be 
a rather charming ring and speculate that the Peverell ring 
was at least its equal, if not superior. Thus, my slightly 
long-winded way of disagreeing that the ring had an ugly 
stone in it. I believe the stone to have been quite attractive.

Goddlefrood:

That's an interesting idea and certainly worth consideration. 
Thanks.

- Due to the list being a little slow, I'm just drip-feeding 
the responses.

- I thought this was the pivotal chapter in DH.
