    I bought some stuff from Fire Mountain two years ago and have
    decided not to use them any more.  Interestingly, I bought three
    strands of "yellow turquoise" from them, but when the stones arrived,
    I realized that two of three strands were stone but the third looked
    like it had been made out of plastic with none of the markings that
    the other two strands had.  It was a smooth, uniform yellowish green.
     I also bought some red jasper from them which looked fake to me. 
    These were the reasons why I stopped buying stuff from them.
