    I think Cathy is right.  Also, when the diamond people saw what was
    coming out of Australia they felt they counldn't compete and
    therefore waged a propaganda campaign. 

    I've been cutting and using opal for over 25 years and selling
    retail for most of that time.  I've heard the most outrageous stories
    about opal.  One was "My mother told us we couldn't wear opal because
    we're Irish".
