slaqbbercabber - That seller would be difficult to tackle. Most of his descriptions such as "amethyst" are also recognized as colors by encyclopedia's. Even the opals being referred to as Australian are difficult to challenge as synthetic opals are sold in Australia. Even the stones that are not usually described as a color are made synthetically at very low cost. The seller is very careful in almost every listing to never claim it is a certified natural stone.
What about the rutilated quartz? That seller lists the main stone as quartz. It looks funny to me, but maybe it is a doublet with a thin layer of actual rutilated quartz? Either that or it is just faked somehow?
