(IDEX Online) - There were few signs of a sustained recovery in December's prices, with flurries of activity among certain sizes of stone, and no movement at all in others. Fancies, especially smaller sizes, fared less well overall than rounds. September was very positive, but since then we've now had three sluggish months.
