I heard it is basically made like crystal with some process to dye and provide the chatoyancy, but quartz it's NOT.  Its been described to me as opalized glass.  Some dealers in China at the time admitted to deterioration over time.  That's probably the reason they don't show up anymore.

And no you don't suck... Just got a bit excited so you ignore the basics.  We all do at times  Tongue Wink
