Rhodonite and rhodochrosite are not the same thing. Some of the pink stone
beads are correctly described; some are not.

I find your auctions to be misleading. There is NO such stone as "yellow"
Turquoise. What is erroneously referred to as "yellow tuquoise" is really a
kind of jasper.If you are going to sell these stones, you should educate
yourself.

"Yellow turquoise" seems to be an accepted trade name, now. Ditto "cherry
quartz", "goldstone".....

I agree. One shouldn't have to be well educated in gemstones to know that
what is labeled as "Yellow Turquoise" is not turquoise at all. Same for
Cherry "Quartz".

but the less perpetuating of it that is done, the better!

I tell people who are interested, and have included the information in
descriptions of "ingredients" in the pieces that I sell. I happen to like the
"fruit quartzes"-- and the similar "cloud" (white streaks) and "coal" (black
streaks) "quartzes". I classify them as I do Chinese lampwork and Czech fire
polished facetted glass... neato stuff, even if it's not the same as what it is
supposed to imitate.

Since some people only know the "trade names", I don't want to NOT use them.
Usually I indicate them thusly : "Yellow Turquoise" (actually a type of jasper,
sometimes found in turquoise mines), "Cherry Quartz" (a specialty glass, cut as
if it is a stone) or "Goldstone" (a very old formula of glass, with copper dust
providing the "shine", cut as if a stone).
