Hi Jeff,

Yes, you are right, the eyes are 'dead' meaning thet the stone is dead, which I doubt, somthing else it the matter.
Got the book. This is most interesting. I will try to find out more, and come back, but it looks like onyx in the book, could also be something else.
I will also show you how the Indians dealt with having a nice grip, although some did not have the money to pay for such a 'grip' - when new, it would have look exactly like the real thing:-)- later.
