Dear Dr. Tom,

    As a part time lover of archeology I can across an article several
    years ago regarding a find in the middle east. It was a hoard of
    river polished clear quartz stones. Hundreds of them if I remember
    correct. The amount in the find would not have been possible in
    nature. Several reasons were submitted for discussion. My own opinion
    is that indeed even back then craftsmen and artists needed
    magnification. At a lecture I attended on ancient granulation I
    submitted the thought to the presenter and he agreed with me that
    some magnification must have been used. I suppose ancient tools like
    this were rarely found along with the products they produced. Just a
    thought....
