<p>[QUOTE="wenna, post: 379555, member: 541"]OK, I broke out my (admittedly inexpensive) diamond tester and read the instructions for the second time; I think I got it in an amateur kind of way. All the stones except for the possibly coral one tested much harder than compared to glass. The blue ones tested as hardest. One of them even kept going into 'diamond' territory. I am using a Diamond Tester II. So, I think I can say they are not glass anyway. I also did the vinegar test on the coral stone (hope I don't get in trouble for that). It took a few seconds but it did develop bubbles all over the surface. I rinsed it really well after.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
