[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 9826933, member: 2844"]Your dad must have been an amazing man, and clearly multi-talented. And your mom was a beauty.:) I have no trouble believing that he found it in the Colosseum, and that it was one of the stones used to build the Colosseum. And it is worn smooth, so it has been around for a very long time. But believing it and having proof are two different things. I hope that being a bit closer to the origin helps. Something on Italian tufa: [URL]https://blog.stephens.edu/arh101glossary/?glossary=tufa[/URL] And the typical Lazio landscape. The village was built on top of a tufa rock and the building stones are all tufa as well, sourced locally: [ATTACH=full]490128[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
