Message Dear Bill, those things on the website are all cheap tourist serpentine fakes. I wouldn't even dare to put them in the house as serpentine are asbestos type material with fairly sharp crystals. The factory that produce these fakes I suspect is in Guandong, may be Canton, as I see alot of these acid etched frosted fakes in Southern China, mainly Hong Kong. I hope those workers carving out these things use adequate breathing apparatus as it can cause lung cancer. Post a Response |
