[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 874719, member: 5833"]Yes, cameos can be carved in anything, although translucent monochromatic stones are more often used for intaglios. Tests by what method? [USER=1496]@Hollyblue[/USER] Can a Presidium type tester accurately test something surrounded in metal this way? Garnet comes in a whole array of colors. From photos, this is more like the color of chalcedony called sard. However, cannot rule out from pix the possibility of glass if the gold back is making it test as harder than it really is.[/QUOTE]
