<p>[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 3082085, member: 5833"]I do think wishful thinking combined with lack of educated experience leads to most listings of this type. The battle I occasionally engage in is the angel skin coral vs conch shell one. People with only casual experience with cameos may think they're all of the helmet shell type & not even realize the pink ones aren't coral. Since coral generally sells for more than shell, they naturally want to believe the piece they have is coral.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have now & then seen a hardstone cameo described as shell, but not in some time now.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
