I have been fascinated by your posting on history of cloisonne making in Yuan dynasty. I have never thought that the art form was brought to China by Persian soldiers. Since after reading your post, I have done some research and found it was indeed accurate. Well done. - Jennifer Cason, New York 6/2010
I read your story on searching for crystal specimens in mountain caves and it reminds me those days when I was younger and climbing the mountains in the west. I can totally relate to the anxious anticipation, the excitments for new discovery and the joy of natual. Maybe someday I'd go visit these crystal mines myself. - Michael McFall, Texas 9/2010
