List,

Sorry if I'm boring you, but this is driving me nuts!
The "moldavite faceting rough" that is constantly
listed on ebay, so gorgeously "apple green" but devoid
of normal moldavite skin character IS NOT REAL. I can
only presume that the faceted "gems" offered by the
same sellers are also man-made glass. Please don't
support these scam artists.

There are real faceted moldavites out there. I can
only suggest that you look for IMCA credentials.

If in doubt, I will always offer an opinion (for what
it's worth---)
