<p>[QUOTE="KikoBlueEyes, post: 1447152, member: 8363"]Look at the holes in the beads especially if the edges has some wear. Dyed howlite will be white. Look closely to see if any dye has settled into the cracks. I found a dyed marble necklace once that closely resembled turquoise. When I looked up the maker, it turned out he was known for his dyed marble pieces. Good luck. I hope it works out for you.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
