    I am really disturbed about the misrepresentation of the names of
    stones! Lately, all sorts of misleading names have  been showing up.
    At the recent show in Tucson I got  some stones that the dealer
    assured me were "mustard jade" from a new mine. I got a few, and
    when I returned home showed them to a very knowledgeable friend who
    assured me  that they were not jade, but were probably dyed quartz. 

    Whatever happened to truth in advertising??? Does anyone monitor the
    dealers in Tucson to assure that what they are selling is what they 
    are represented to be, or is it caveat emptor??? 

    Hate this misrepresentation of things. Gives us all a bad name if we
    inadvertently sell something that is not what we thought it was.
    Sorry. Just had to let off a bit of my frustration.  

Alma.
