    Bravo Hans....a good explanation on stone identification.  If people
    out there really want to get into the identification of
    agate/jaspers....but do not want to wait for the Fraziers to finish
    their monumental work, there is an outstanding site created by the
    Conservation and Survey Division, Instituteof Agriculture and Natural
    Resources of the Univ of Nebraska-Lincoln.  The site address is:
    http://csd.unl.edu/csd/programs/agates/framgem.htm 

    Click on Agate Lexicon and you will get a listing that goes on
    forever giving the names of various agates and jaspers, where the
    name comes from, cross references etc.  Excellent site...I visit it
    often. 

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