<p>[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 1050093, member: 5833"]Agree. It does look a bit like plastic in the shot taken from edge on, but translucence & color shading shown in pic of back argue strongly for amethyst. The navettes look like turquoise to me. Findings are mid-century. Carved amethysts were exported & used in jewellery by western makers as well. Have to bow to others on origin of this piece.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
