Looks like dyed cave onyx, to me. Did anyone notice that sales of this items can be to anywhere but China & Italy? Could it be that the sales laws are MUCH tougher, in those countries, which is why they can't sell this to them? I vote that they are deliberately scamming; no "accidental mis-ID" for these folks.
Your friend, Steve

could it be that the design, beauteous as it might be, was ripped off some Italian company, and they simply do not want to risk repercussions?
China is funny, because they are in China, Hong Kong being part of it last time I checked! :)

P.S.: I have not had any problems with Italian postal services in 20 years of trading specimens with Italian collectors.

Interesting article, but Rhodochrosite should not be pink or red? Why is it blue? You can send in Italy?
What do you think Branko?

"Thank for asking the question. Yes, I feel very suprise to know that have a blue colour from my supplier. I bought this special gemstone pendant immediate and want to share with my buyer. Of course, I am willing to send it to Italy. ** Enjoy shopping."
the seller seems in good faith, but I do not have the courage to respond by saying that the terms of manganese do not give blue colours...

Was the point that there's a potential for confusion?

I wasn't actually questioning you so much as trying to figure out the relevance of the previous post, but it's interesting to hear that there's yet a different name for celestine in German.
I've always been a fan of the mineral and can't quite get used to calling it celestine instead of celestite. I'm sure there's a good reason, but it just never made sense to me.
Desmine? No, stilbite.
Calamine? No, smithsonite / hemimorphite / hydrozincite. (OK, maybe that's a good enough explanation on its own.)
Celestine vs. celestite? Let's pick the one that doesn't fit with the "ends in -ite" standard and is also used as an adjective.
Hardly something that keeps me awake at night, but I do wonder / occasionally harrumph.
Cheers (and back to blue carbonates!),

The shipping issue Hong Kong does not ship internally part of the take over rules and shipping to Italy is a royal pain with customs so some just don't want the headache
