 And I wouldn't take the s150,0oU involved, nor all the money in the world for her." says Mrs, Blum.
 There's still another chapter: the baby girl came just about in time to keep the pearls from getting sick. Held in bank vault the s150. 900 gems were reported wasting away" from lack of contact with the human body.
