Original Post
Well the old thread is getting mighty full, So I thought we should bring it all over here to continue.
Heres the old one for reference:
www.etsy.com/forums_thread.php?thread_id=6092412
You wont find any white turquoise here.
or Crab Fire agate,
or Russian Sugilite,
or "new" jade,
or fruit flavored gems,
or plastic Mokume Gane',
or faked anything.
But you will find frank discussions of mystery materials and mis-identified stones and metals.
Welcome aboard.

Dang it! Never had the double post thingy happen before tonight, and now it's on like half my posts. What causes it?

No LAughing, but if you find something on the net about it link it here. Its a new one to me. I never went for corals. I do like the red horn and fossil ones I have. I stay a little clear of them cause the habitat they are yanked from can be pretty sensitive.
Other more yielding areas for cool stones that arent 'quite' as damaging.
(I know, who am I kidding)

And of course Wiki:

** I didnt catch a lot on the direct manufacture of bamboo coral jewelry. big suppliers, but not process stuff.
Hmmm.

JackStones -- great shop! Glad to have found you through this thread, since I've kindof given up on trying to search for "real" cabs. :)
Anyone know a trick for searching and not returning all of the glass, plastic, and other random things tagged as cabochons for some reason??
