    Folks, I've recently seen a spate of faceted gems marketed as
    "Helenite" and described as gems created in the eruption of Mt. St.
    Helens in Washington State.  Can any of you shed any light on this? 
    Are these considered valuable from a gemological perspective?  What
    are they, really?  Do you think they are worth looking at for use in
    some jewelry pieces in a mid-range market?  Do you think they're a
    trend or will their appeal hold up over time?  Or are they simply
    another marketing gimmick? Just curious -- it's an area about which I
    know very little, and this one has me bugged. 

Many thanks,
Karen Goeller
