Original Message:   Re: PHOTO of Enhanced matrix in magnesite

Hi Russ, I think it's clear that a crackle effect has been applied to some turquoise-dyed magnesite. And I think we can reasonably assume it's a distress process that involves heating and chilling. But the MATRIX effect is something different. It is artful, and not random cracking. Many of these beads have "matrix" and do not have crackle. Jamey.
