Great material here, and, again, I love your work!
I'm glad you were able to post these pics as large as they are,
but thank you very much.

I'm going to guess that these are included with Byssolite.
Take a look at some pics of Byssolite included quartz and see
if you don't agree. Where did this quartz come from?

Also, I noticed on your Etsy site, bottom row page 2, you
have a beautiful amethyst piece mounted in silver above
what you are calling a "rutilated" amethyst cabochon, and
another "rutilated" amethyst piece further on in the pages.
There is a bit of a controversy over whether to call this
golden fibrous stuff "Cacoxenite" or a form of "Goethite".
I'm "old school" so I would call it Cacoxenite in the piece
on page 2 because it is so well formed. But I'm sure others
will have other opinions about that.

and the rough came from brazil by the way....
