[Jewelry making - Article 00096] - [Orchid] Caringorm: nowhere to be found?

    I might need help from our friends across the pond on this one... A
    customer wants a large (30mm-ish) faceted Caringorm (dark smokey
    quartz from the Cairngorm region in Scotland - correct me if I'm
    wrong) and I've run out of leads. A new Ordhid e-mail buddy got me
    in touch with a jeweler in Scotland who confirmed the description,
    but said the mine has been closed for decades. The customer
    definitely wants one mined in Scotland (no, I can't cheat!). Any
    ideas? Large clean piece of rough I can have cut? Existing stone in a
    setting that could be removed?  It's a big order for a good customer,
    so I'd really appreciate any help.
