[QUOTE="Marie Forjan, post: 4612325, member: 147"]Hi Joolies, I picked this up as costume this weekend, is she calcaire, dripstone or limestone? I think she is Beatrice, is that right? The mount is gold filled and looks to be early 20th, no safety catch. She measures 1-1/2" x 1-7/8" (4cm x 4.8cm). The brown spots are not quite as dark as they photographed and when I move her I catch little reflective bits in the material. The back is completely flat with an X cut in it, could that be a signature or just a numbering system? Thank you for any thoughts on the material, subject and age. I just want to say, without Bronwen's wonderful thread on cameos I would not have the slightest clue what she might be. I have learned so much from her and the other wonderful cameo mavens on this board :) [ATTACH=full]410438[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]410439[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]410440[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]410441[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
