I sit corrected. Just know I won't buy fluorite jewellery when I have known a mineral specimen split spontaneously, no force required. Sugilite...
The mark on the right could be the Egyptian lotus, but nothing else about it seems right to me for an Egyptian piece. AJ knows far more. [IMG]
Gorgeous, all. I especially like the way the first two appear to be shaped to fit comfortably in the hand & all must have tactile as well as...
It's nice to feel wanted, but just took it at face value, that the cameo thread made one for snuff bottles seem like a good idea too. I'm going...
With only photos to go by, I would have guessed glass, with some paint added for contrast, now mostly worn away. But if you think it is lighter...
