Curious to know why the Arkansas quartz is described as "opaque to translucent." To me it appears transparent to translucent. But then I have long had a problem with what I consider widespread misuse of the term opaque. Lovely specimens, however, and great photographs. _________________ John S. White aka Rondinaire
