Thank you for the input Bernd. I should mention that the first set of photos
(with the window) was a stone purchased from Dean and, you are correct, the
last one was purchased from Carsten.

Fun stuff :)

Kind regards,

No, Mike, this is not the "real thing" ;-)

Especially this one:
http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2004-11/877141/unclass-msb.jpg
is not one of those BL stones that were found and marketed 5 years ago. The
one above
is probably one of Carsten's recent offers!

The real stuff is here:

Here you can also see a picture of one of my two thin sections that shows
those countless
colorful pearls I mention in my description of what I see in cross-polarized
light.

Cheers,

Bernd
