At the last big gem and Jewelry show in Dallas, I saw a lot of nicely colored blue and pink "peruvian opal", most of it seemed very uniform in color (warning flag), but it had a 'plastic feel' to it, kinda like some of the very heavily stabilised turquoise and (2nd warning), prices under $20 a strand. I shied away from it, but did buy some reasonable priced but highly varigated beads at the bead show. What was it that they had for sale? I have a heavy geology background and I'm fussy about the stones I use.
Thank you
