    A vendor at a recent gem show here (who sells 99%
    stone/gemstone/organic material beads) had one product that
    perplexed my amateurish attempt at identification, until I examined
    it more closely and figured out that it was glass -- but they denied
    it was GLASS, calling it instead "simulated crystal." (and that is
    different from glass HOW?)
