What a surprise that during recent years we've found Chrysocolla Chalcedony (gem silica), Idocrase, Nephrite Jade, Fire Opals, Ambers and other varieties of Jaspers in Indonesia.

Some of my friends in different localities in Indonesia submitted rock samples and cut stones they just discovered to my lab and I conclude that my countries have such treasure they've just discovered.

I will post some photos in my next posting....

I love everything about those many Indonesian stones except for the prices I've seen. Lovely stuff! But none available at prices I'd pay. Except the blue amber--I picked some up at the JACS show in Tucson, fantastic stuff at a reasonable price.
