    Yes I was referring to the dyed Agate, Then Namibia blue mist or
    what ever they are going to call it this week is a Natural material
    and as far as I know holds what little color it has, To me it looks
    like a singular replacement and not a fortification type of agate
    that the Blue Lace agate is but most I have cut has been about the
    color of the pale blue grays that blue lace has. I have some material
    that has recently come out of China, it was advertised as Blue
    Moonstone, how ever it exhibits no similarity to any Feldspars I have
    ever seen, has no ardulesence, and seems prone to conchoidal
    fracturing, I haven't looked at it under any high power magnification
    but to me this material more closely resembles Obsidian or glass. Ahs
    any one else seen or heard of this "rare new material"
