>  Variquoise? What's that


jerry -

    my theory on 'new mineral' names: after a mineral has become scarce
    they mine the surrounding matrix, give it a bridging name & declare
    a 'new material' on the market. variquoise is supposed to be a
    cousin of turquoise & variscite - halfway between the two. i prefer
    working with variscite - easy to cut, nice colors & patterns, takes
    a great polish. there will be a test friday morning.
