Found this while using StumbleUpon and thought it may be of interest to people who buy this kind of thing.
I am a collector of crystals, minerals and fossils I have indeed been fooled by one or two of these in my time so it's always handy to be forewarned so-to-speak.
The Vug; Fakes, Forgeries, and Misrepresentations in the mineral world (http://www.the-vug.com/vug/vugfakes.html)
Would be exceptionally interested to see more pages of this kind on this thread so we can be guided away from the shamsters and fraudsters who want to make a quick buck out of unsuspecting people and quite frankly should be stopped!
There's also a blog: FakeMinerals.com (http://www.fakeminerals.com/)
