Is it a chemical? Is it a change of thickness? Is it something else?

Mousselene is actually an in depth discussion. Fascinating I may add. If it was just about ribs it would quite boring and cut and dried. It takes 30 minutes to explain it on the phone. God help me in a discussion forum. It is not all optic ribs but specifically 3 different optic ribbings. Really the question at hand is” is it the ribbing that defines Mousselene or must it have additional qualities to actually qualify it as true Mousselene?” I believe with certainty that it must have more than just the ribbing. I do truly apologize for the difficulty I have sometimes explaining things in text and sincerely will do my best to keep it short and concise as possible. My study on Mousselene has answered 4 other mysteries for me also. Over the next little while I would like to share with everyone the three ribbings that Mousselene comes in. What Henna Alabaster is. Also what the other characteristic is that makes Mousselene what it is. I found the final clues in the 1932 catalog.

Today I will show the 3 different ribbings. Two of them almost identical (so much so they actually could be classified as the same) and the third being Melon Ribbed. My Ivory Mousselene shade vase glows under black light while normal Ivory does not and I also can see an opaline glass inside of it.
