    Dear Stephen; I am sorry that I offended you, please forgive me, that
    was not my intention. To question the quality of gemstones should be
    something that everyone is free to do. I am learning so much about
    Welo/Ethiopian Opals, it is an interesting research. Today I found a
    site that has Welo's for sale, and I still feel that the Welo's on
    that site are much milkier than the ones on Etsy. This is the time of
    the man made stones. There are hundreds of items in a catalog, when
    the imitations and man compiled are taken out, there are only a few
    items left. To question a stones origin is not slanderous, and I am
    sorry that you took it that way. I have found something that
    interests me, and I do in fact plan on educating myself about Welo's
    and Ethiopians. I would be a lot more gracious about the origin of
    the stones in question if I could pinpoint a map and a mine. 

    You comment that you could go on and on, please do, I find
    information from others is the biggest asset of this forum. I not
    only read yours and others posting, but save them or print them out
    for reference. I have learned so much from this site, never apologize
    for enlightening us. Blessings pat
