Rhona,

    Please. 

    Calsilica is a man-made product, pure and simple. So, what you
    "know" is wrong. Sorry to be so blunt, but this is not a matter of
    opinion. Lapidary Journal published their findings on it some time
    back. I'ts man-made, and a ruse. GIA did the same thing. It's
    man-made. There is an absolutely amazing amount of poor information
    or opinion passed off as fact on this list. 

    Since everyone posting here has a computer, why is it so difficult
    for some folks to not use Google or another search engine to do some
    mildly exhaustive research for themselves rather than ask someone
    else to do their research? Is it laziness, or what? It seems that
    when erudite and experienced answers are given by those who have
    been personally and financial successful in our trade, those remarks
    are ignored and ignorance is passed on. What am I missing here?
    Folks, Calsilica is a man-made product, let's put it to rest. 

Wayne Emery
