| GreenBean | 09-11-2009 10:13 PM | Two of the best were necklaces that were purported to be made from Turquoise & another stone Lapus Lazuli. I get the samples of each variety. Holy Batman, they were terrible.... with the Lapus Lazuli necklace as soon as heat/sweat touched it, blue dye came out all over my fingers. I took the Turquoise necklace to pieces & could see 'white' in the stone's innards, a sure sign of dyeing:pout:
Part of the problem is that any of these stones have cheaper copies. They get dyed to imitate the real stone. Makes me laugh as it never works.:faint: |
