[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 560342, member: 5833"]Jivvy does remember correctly. But whoa! Someone got really carried away with the drill, finding as many places to use it as he could & using too large a bit. He about reamed those flowers right out! She would usually be considered Flora. You identified the material correctly. Chipped off noses are more the rule than the exception. Always one of the first things to check with lava. No & no. Although I sometimes see them described that way, I have never seen a cameo for jewellery that I believed was marble. Marble is used in the next thing to a cameo, relief sculptures. You'll see wall decorations that are framed marble reliefs. Marble is actually a relatively soft & fragile stone. When I was arranging the shipment of things from my mother's house, one of the items coming to my house was a marble sculpture. Was told shippers will not insure marble, then promised he would take very good care of it & he did.[/QUOTE]
