Lapidarious says

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.

Aye, aye.

Must say, the inspiration from etsy, many of the folks in this thread (and you know who you are) finally got me into actually doing lapidary instead of just thinking about doing it.

Cheers!
