    Hi: In my experience with blue calchadoney, it has done many things.
    As a stone that refracts light from water spheres trapped in the
    crystalline structure. This result in changes to the stone by
    humidity changes, non-moisture environment, and have you ever seen
    how paper desiccates things? Think of what a safety vault contains.
    The only suggestion I have is to allow the stone to slowly
    rehydrate, if you doe it to fast, the shock will fracture the stone.
    I saw some nice blue at the gem show, here is a source for
    calchdoney..TGI 1-800-656-gems.... Another source is new era gems.
