[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 804356, member: 2844"]On the temperature thing, when you hold it for a few minutes, does the part where your hand is go warm, or does it stay cold? Do you see tiny corkscrew-like shapes when looking at it through a loupe? Not a tight corkscrew shape, more like wool from an unraveled sweater. He is a Hotei rather than a Buddha.
