<p>[QUOTE="Ce BCA, post: 4429531, member: 18716"]Nice, appears to have an Indian look to me from how the stones are set and some of the features. Agree top stone is malachite, blue sparkly cabs probably lapis lazuli, the small cabs probably coral and turquoise. The larger blue cabs are a bit ambiguous but could be turquoise.</p><p><br /></p><p>Is there any verdigris in the crevices? If so this could indicate brass. Also is it solid - it would be very unusual to make something like this in solid silver, you would expect the body to be hollow. If it is hollow and no sign of verdigris then there is a chance it may be gilded silver.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
