<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jivvy, post: 708517, member: 8184&quot;]I have a piece of Whitby Jet that I know is Whitby Jet and sometimes I look at it and can barely stop myself from once again dragging out an unglazed tile to test it. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie26" alt=":bored:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie51" alt=":hilarious:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Looking online is hard. I just searched &quot;whitby jet brooch&quot; on ebay (all categories) and I&#039;m certain one of the first results is bog oak and I KNOW another is glass (oh, Headband Girl, you ARE everywhere).</p><p><br /></p><p>In case it&#039;s not covered elsewhere: if any of the findings are screwed to the piece, it&#039;s not whitby jet. Whitby jet brooches tend to have <i><b>relatively</b></i> substantial metal plates on the back (big surface area to glue to the jet).</p><p><br /></p><p>Whitby Jet has a conchoidal fracture pattern much like glass.</p><p><br /></p><p>If it would be of any help, I can upload some random pictures of my piece.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
