What's happened to Mark Licinni?

Someone told me a couple of days ago that Mark has passed on. I
can’t seem to verify it. He used ot post a lot of about
heat and radiation treatments for colored stones.

Anyone here know what’s going on?

Bruce, Unfortunately, yes Mark died some time ago. He had been in a
coma. Carol Bova among others spoke with Adrianna, Mark’s Brazilian
wife. There was a language gap and not much beyond the
coma came out.

I have not seen Robert Lowe post lately, and I have lost his address
via a disk reformat. I had intended to ask him if he had any other
Hopefully he will see this post and reply.

Mark’s web site has been down for some time now, but it is preserved
via a web site that can be of great interest to many.

The <web.archive.org> is a great resource, I was amazed at what I
was able to find there. Teresa

Hi Bruce,

can't seem to verify it. He used ot post a lot of information
about heat and radiation treatments for colored stones. 

I’m afraid your friends comment is correct. Mark passed away several
months ago.

A close friend of his confirmed that fact on a faceting list I
subscribe to. The world has lost a fine individual with a great
knowledge of facetable gemstones & their treatment.
