<p>[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 2238480, member: 5833"]Took my little UV flashlight to the display cabinet wanting to look at a particular little carving that is marble. Never noticed before: it has some bright green lines in it! Then remembered that I had dropped it once & glued the front legs back on. Spotted a similar glint of lime green on another piece & realized a malachite cameo must have been glued down to keep it in silver setting. Good news is that the green on yours just looks like a vein of something that is molecularly different from the main material & fluoresces that way, not a repaired fracture. Still hoping Holly will take a look & tell us what she sees.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
