Hi guys:

Sitting here reading a book when out of the blue I remmebered Quadraville. It was a quarts quarry in operation for years sent boat loads of pink quarts to china to be carved and returned to the west.

This stuff if memory serves was not crystal clear by any menas but I was wondering if a little gentle heat might not improve it.

Any ideas on what it might take?

BTW Merry Christams to all and Happy Holidays to those who celibrate the Season in other ways :)

thanks :)
