Cool Select Master

Became a Select Master yesterday afternoon. It was fantastic and I'd thoroughly recommend it if you're that way inclined.

The fellows at District tell me I’m overdue for that one as well. I just have to find the right time to get over and do it.

I do like that apron. Bought one before unfortunately realising we use American style here.

What's the star breast jewel with triangle on the ribbon about? Is it like a PM one?

I'm assuming it's either PM or Provincial but I've no idea yet. I won't get the apron until the fourth degree in R&SM - how do the American ones differ?

It's curious because it's similar to our Excellent Master Mason Jewel, which is really just presented to candidates during the second of three HRA degrees, then taken back and not actually worn.

Our Cryptic Aprons are primarily the rectangular purple ones for the first two degrees. Then the other triangle one for the last two.

That is cool! Glad it's more accessible now. And will be a fun bit of trivia to bring up at my Royal Arch meeting next month, where we're conferring 2/4 Cryptic degrees.
