  <Ah... but these do look like Taza. I have found many
  over the years, and if you set one side by side with
  Taza you would not be able to tell the difference. They
  look exactly alike. >

    Except in this case they are not taza they are
  glorieta. Last week I was offered those 2 pieces on
  eBay along with a 68 gram piece which I purchased and it
  is definately not Taza. See the photos at this URL.

    Most of the taza I have see have a caliche dirt
  surface on them which I haven't seen on glorieta, but
  then I haven't seen as many glorieta pieces as Steve.

    Normally I don't respond to things like this, but in
  this case I know the material is described correctly and
  letting it go could affect the sellers ability to make a
  sale.
