</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Just to back this up. Me and Alex did research and we found typical specimens of Chalc. ranging from 0.6 to 1.7 pounds. So this is a good question :)</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>To me the more powerful item the larger it should be. Ie Chalc stone is a very powerful (MLx2) stone to me thus it should be large (necklace/amulet size min.). But something that only does say +4 Dex stone could fit in a Ring...At least I see it. The more powerful the stone the more 'space' it needs to take up to use that energy and plus making it a better target for grabbing and such :)</FONT></P>

<BR><FONT SIZE=2>>P.S. Just a thought:</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>>Would a ring require a more flawless / brilliant stone than a larger </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>>stone in a brooch or hung on a necklace to be enhancable?</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Good question too!</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Table of weights and such would be nice but theres so many items out there it would take hard time to standardize it.</FONT>
