    Hi, all, I just bought some blue quartz beads from my local rock
    shop. They are very pretty, but don't look like a natural color to
    me. The dealer said, "If they were dyed, they wouldn't be in here!"
    Similar beads in Rio are marked "dyed". What do you folks know about
    blue quartz? They are medium blue, similar to a darker topaz. I have
    always had a very high opinion of this dealer, and would hate to
    find that he is either less competent or less honest than I thought!
    Plus, of course, I don't want to mislead my customers (who, by the
    way, seem to eagerly buy almost anything blue!) Thanks for any
    help-- including any hints on how to test directly for dye, if
    possible. 

--Noel
