[QUOTE="aaroncab, post: 337859, member: 3974"]There were actually a pair of these at the goodwill today - but the other had significant chipping to the base as well as to the edges of the faceting(so I left it) - this one is chip free. Wondering if I should go back tomorrow and get the other one anyway... The inner most layer is what I suspect to be alexandrite - need to get it under some proper flourescent lighting to confirm. I'm fairly sure it's Murano but...any ideas on maker? 8" tall, mouth is 2 1/2" wide. Weighs almost 6 pounds (5 pounds 14 oz)! ~ [ATTACH=full]113340[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]113341[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]113342[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]113343[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]113344[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]113345[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
