<p>[QUOTE="evelyb30, post: 10205410, member: 36"]Yup - they used what looked good and what was to hand. Indicolite tourmalines have been around for a long time, in use since the early 1800s I think, but from what I saw tend to be pricy. Paraibas are another thing and IIRC were discovered post-WWII. Glass in this case might be the safe bet.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
