I wonder if this adds another aspect to the popularity of jet objects from the bronze age. Before you work it you can often quite clearly se the woodgrain.

I gained an insight into your statement above today Branwen as attended a lecture about jewellery in the neolithic and bronze age. We were shown a slide of a jet spacer-plate necklace found in south west Scotland and jet beads found in north east Scotland. I was wondering if you could add more to this subject.
Thanks in advance for any info.
