    They are blocks of compressed Heather check google for details.
    I checked search, it was part of another discussion, could be hard to find unless someone remembers the original discussion.

    Default Scottish Heather Gems

    Hi,

    I have personally seen the Heather gems of various types when visiting the homeland ) as mentioned it is strands of heather which is dried and died and pressed under extreme pressure which in turn is turned into the gems. When they are finished they look absolutely awesome.

    I tried to source the actual manufacturer sometime ago but hit a block wall. Would be good to get some as it would make for some very intersting items.

    Cheers
