I'm thinking Geisinger.
Someone will accuse you of casting aspersions on the military if you let spell check get away with it. :p
Think it would be easier to cut something like a conch shell than the fairly flat topped cone family. You might even be able to get 2 or 3 from...
Yes. Unless someone really goes at them with bright light & magnification, you would never know. Wish I could remember where I read/heard about...
Point is, it's an element from something larger, not complete in itself. Photos & weight suggest lead crystal, not plain glass.
My hypothesis is that later ones from the 30s of a pretty lady with an ornamental comb in her hair derive from Psyche. You sort of see the wing...

My guess is that it is Amphitrite: https://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/6926750_180-19th-c-spelter-figure-amphitrite-signed...

Judging by the number of small gorgoneion cameos, loose, or in Roman rings of various qualities, these must have been very popular for their...
Hah! Now I'm not the only one bringing cameos into threads as illustrations. The genre of this one is like the one @Jeff Drum uses as his avatar.
I may not have been the only one, but I have written elsewhere that diamonds are lousy ring stones (@komokwa 'cleavage') because they do...
Being Sunday lazy, so not checking facts. Think these contraptions test thermal conductivity, which seems to have a correlation with hardness on...
We can only hope. :chicken:
Ariadne. LOL Athena & Athena with a bit of facial fuzz & a lion added to the crest of the helmet to turn her into Mars, the aegis changed from...
It's sold now. Did you buy? Price is very good. Ivory, Venus spanking Cupid. (Bow on ground; wing pushed to the side by her left hand.) I...
Separate names with a comma.
