Nope. My first impulse would be lucite, followed by glass. Zero natural stones there; either the seller misheard something they were told, they...
That's what I was seeing - Flight, by B.A.M. Schwyn. The scene is Pharaoh's cavalry getting smooshed by water.
Need to upload the pictures but...((glorp)) I knew it was pretty and hoped it was good. No idea it was this good. Gustavsberg Pottery vase,...

It's my name, so...:D The best way to start is buy things that are made very well. The stones are held with metal prongs, not glue. You like...
Venting in here is safe too; we've all dealt with (words omitted) insurance at some point or another. They love nothing more than paperworking...
