Most of it passed the three tests that I do. One mini-strand failed the first test on the list - specific gravity. I popped it in a solution of 23g table salt mixed with 200 ml tap water. It was supposed to pop back up to the surface and float. It didn't pop. It sank right down to the bottom and lay there like a rock (which amber is not ( Read more... )

I'm going to be a poll watcher from the time the polls open in the morning, until after the count is completed at my polling place tomorrow night.
