Al & list,

Fair enough! The Georgiaites are a greenish straw
yellow, and about 3% of the Bediasites are a
translucent molasses color----but 97% of them are very
black, as are Ivory Coasts, and most (but not all
Australasians. Like I said earlier, doubt anyone who
uses the terms "always" or "never" even if it's me!

Cheers,
Norm
