    OK Peter, you make many fine points here; I agree with most.
    However, originally I was responding ONLY to a post concerning
    inexpensive jade beads. If anyone wants to sell me these, stating
    they're jade, and won't let me try a small scratch in a hidden area
    of the stone I'll know something;'s fishy-because no-one can make a
    true mark with steel on true jade, nephrite or jadeite...
