well, it is true that the fake stuff does not pass muster with sarles, but if you take the fake to the temple after Sarles rejects it, the high priest there is still happy with it, and seems to think it is abstract art.
the trick, as was said, is to get both real and fake illithium and only have the fake stuff on you (i dropped the real stuff right outside the door and left minsc and boo (who "stand ready", im often told) to guard it.
It was still there, a few minutes later when I left. BUT I would warn you not to leave stuff around all over the place, especially if you'll still need it later. I left the gesen bow shaft and the pommel jewel of the equalizer on the floor in Cromwell's forge, along with the illithium, cause I was sick of hauling it all around.
But when I came back a few days later with the mace of disruption, so Cromwell could upgrade it, the illithium was still there, as was the crom faer scroll, but the pommel jewel and the bowshaft of gesen were not.
So either cromwell kicked them under the table and Ill have to find them (unlikely), or Im shit out of luck, OR shadowkeeper gets a quick little workout when I get back from the Underdark....
