Dear George,
there is a misunderstanding. I said, to be clear, that my whole bottle comes from a single piece of stone, in other words it is not possible to take crystals of quanrtz and implement them into another compact stone. And did ask if that is what you meant by saying that it has been compacted.
You said: "Yes, that was what I meant, and agree that the white crystals can't be compacted to the black agate.", which does not make sense. One of us is not understanding right.
But there is a bad new here: a friend did send me the picture of a bottle that is on sale on ebay. That color is not natural in my opinion, it must be dyed. If so, it means that it is possible to dye the compact stone without affetting the crystals! Too bad!
Giovanni
