[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 4627404, member: 2844"]Just to remind people that jet occurs in many parts of the world, Whitby is just one of them. Only jet jewellery made of Whitby jet can be called Whitby jet. The test for jet is not called Whitby test, you can test jet from other locations in exactly the same way. In Whitby and other parts of the UK you can see chunks of jet protruding from the coastal rocks. It is impressive. Because so much jet was found there, Whitby jet became an important name in British jewellery. Germany was also well known for cutting and assembling jet jewellery. Their jet was locally sourced. I can imagine there are many places in North America where jet can be found as well. German and other jet should not be called Whitby jet, for obvious reasons.;)[/QUOTE]
