I am now reminded that back in June 2005 I made this comment:

But one of my examples has an interesting cane or two embedded in the usual thin and "pointed" ground. I'll be mentioning this at the Ysart etc Conference in August  :!:

And then, as far as I recalll, I never said anything mnore about it, other than to the conference attendees.

So here's a late update ...
The weight I mentioned was the one on the left in this slide.
Note that it has similar internal shape and colouring to Ray's weight recently shown.

It contains a few (part) canes which can be matched to Paul Ysart ones.
Here is a slide showing a couple of canes that can be matched.

And a third slide for another cane.

Ray's has green aventurine. Mine has gold aventurine. I don't know the truth about these weights or what the cane matches really mean. But perhaps Ray's part canes are also Ysart ones??
