Hardly. You've just had your horizons broadened. :writer::kiss:
Agree on Idar-Oberstein, 1920s/30s perhaps. Seems like there was a bit of a cameo Renaissance then, post-WWI. Signature unknown to me. Could...
Can't believe mom kept this hidden from you until recently, but way cool. May I put her on my Pinterest board for ivory portraits? There must be...
It just keeps attention & responses from getting scattered when an item is presented in a single place. I have responded to you in your own...
The colors are typical of fluorite. Don't use it as a doorstop; fluorite has great cleavage & will easily fracture along molecular planes. And...
