    Got this signed Fire & Light purple glass star at the GW last week, had it in my kitchen window.

    Was doing my taxes and needed a paperweight and grabbed the star. Was slaving away with numbers and depressing calculations and out the corner of my eye noticed that the star, holding down a stack of papers, was now blue! I think I found my first piece of Alexandrite! More importantly, it gave me a positive distraction from my taxes.

    I have 2 different sizes of their neo. . .? block candlesticks.
    They are made from recycled glass, so I expect yours is too.
    They are way up at the top of the state of CA. Little town of Arcata.

    They're both used. Could that be a piece of Moser?
