    Hi Dave Sebaste, Just to add to your post about "stone": One of my
    mature age students once admonished me about my casual use of the
    word "stone" as in stone setting ... using stones in jewellery ... He
    really made me rethink that conventional description most of us trade
    jewellers use. 

    "Stones are what you find in road surfaces" he said, "gems are what
    you admire in jewellery." I've never referred to gems as "stones"
    since! Kind regards, Rex Steele Merten
