    Thanks to those who provided information on my question about the
    difference between 'Crazy Lace Agate (Jasper) and what some call
    'Rosetta Stone". 

    Re the comment about the difference between jasper and agate....for
    a stone having both agate like areas and opaque areas, but the entire
    stone representing the quartz family,  I have for years represented
    it as "jagate" for want of a better discription. 

    For others, I thank you for confirming both my sanity and the fact
    that, other than percieved differences, there really is none.  We all
    should remember that when someone tries to charge $8 or $10 a lb for
    'Rosetta Stone' and $6 to $7 a lb for 'Crazy Lace'!! 

    Cheers from Don at The Charles Belle Studio in SOFL where simple
    elegance IS fine jewelry! dcdietz AT attbi.com
