Hi to all list members,
With regard to toxicity in specimens, how can one distinguish between
shocked quartz from a nuclear test site and shocked quartz from an
impact site? This is of particular importance to me as I have eight
specimens in the area on my computer desk. I purchased them from a
storeowner who did not even know what they were, but said they were from
Peru. Whether this is true, I have no idea. Never occurred to me they
might be the result of nuclear testing. Any advice would be greatly
appreciated. Thank you.jj
