    I had never heard of "jet" until recently. I have a friend from
    Poland that was talking about "gagat". It is extremely popular in
    Poland and he brought a bunch of jewelry his wife wears.  Gagat is
    the Polish version of "gajet" or "jet". If you read polish (which I
    don't) there is more information on Internet about jet. I guess I
    could have my friend translate some pages. 

    I did find on page (in English) that was kind of interesting.

    This doesn't really answer the question.. well it does tell you it is
    a form of coal (lignite). So I feel justified in sending this :-)
