I received a forwarded message from a Yahoo site w/a link that took me to a Russian dealers website, Kalinka Boutique (if you feel this is advertising, just delete this part); here's what I saw almost immediately that is pure scam. ANYTHING labeled "blue obsidian" - that's slag, for sure; I'm hoping the one bidder I saw sees this & withdraws his bid.
ANYTHING labeled "emerald druse" - this is all manmade junk & some is barely green enough to be called "emerald".
"Lapis" - dyed marble & not even a good job of it.
one "nephrite" ring - it's the green version of the "blue odsidian"; just glass.
I found all this within the 1st 3 pages; who knows what else these people have, but, I would be VERY cautious about anything they are selling. Proof the "do-badders" of the world aren't just from one country! Remember: cavity emptier! (the cavity being your pocket if you're not careful!)
Your friend, Steve
