I too have seen these thin-sliced sericho in clear coated plastic on ebay.
Are these real? Sound like a fake to me. Besides, the cost of these
specimens are cheaper than the "real" sericho specimens available on ebay.
Can you comment on this? Thank you.

Hi Listees,
If you see thin-sliced Sericho that is clear-coated on eBay, beware.
There are several (?) sellers on eBay offering nice-looking Sericho
pieces that allow light to pass through the crystals, and the
specimens have been clear-coated with an acrylic-type substance.

The sellers motive for closing an auction early and canceling all
bids should indeed be taken into account. If the item is broken,
stolen or you find out it does not function properly after you listed
it, then you have a legitimate reason to close an auction early and
cancel bids.
