<p>[QUOTE="Marie Forjan, post: 3757478, member: 147"]I suspect that it isn't saphirete, that the mocha coloring is because of the back's coating. When you look at it sideways across the top do you see any mocha coloring? Saphirete will have the coloring all the way through the stone, not just when looking toward the back.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don't know if Rivoli stones were made when old saphirete was being made but I will have to search for that info. It looks mid 20th century maybe?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
