Hi Tony,

    I couldn't find a reference to them anywhere either. As a last
    resort, I did a search on eBay to see if anybody was hawking them by
    that name. Of course, we all know about eBay; there are sellers, and
    there are sellers. There are probably more gemstone misnomers there
    than in all of the industry combined, but at least I found one
    person selling beads under the name "Vesonite." 

    I clicked on the "Ask seller a question" link and got this response
    from the seller, a Mr. Singh: 

>     It is green garnet but deeperin color and much more clear than
>     Grossular garnet 

    My guess is that it is a new or obscure trade name or misnomer. I
    hope you weathered Charley well Tony, and that you find your
    refractometer soon! 

    James in SoFl who was lucky enough to miss Hurricane Charley
    completely.
