And is that debris (dust/dirt) in the carving or does that normally
occur in the glassy matrix of Moldavite? Pretty crappy if they didn't
bother cleaning it up, but I guess that would be trying to make a silk
purse out of a sow's ear (or in this case, the reverse: a silk purse
into a sow's ear?).

(And an aside remotely related to the Campos Sales posts: Dave is right,
put your bet on Lute & the guys - Go Cats!!)

Best to all,
