<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Marie Forjan, post: 289269, member: 147&quot;]OK, here is the story, my camera is on the fritz! After 10 years of constant use I guess it is about time!</p><p><br /></p><p>I checked the ring and the back of the cameo is flat. I pulled the cameo of the painter that is easy to ID as pink shell (curved back) and tested both with my gem tester. Both tested just at the cusp of quartz, who knew? I never expected it! Based on that I think the ring is also pink shell.</p><p><br /></p><p>Very cool, it never occurred to me to test what is obviously a shell cameo. Thank you Bronwen, I love having tested the shell cameo and I would never have thought of it if not for you <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>DH and I will be going to get a new camera next week so maybe I can get some decent photos of the ring, but I think it&#039;s moot, it must be shell!</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks Bookahtoo, it was so much fun! The pieces we set aside for auction are supposed to come up in November at a local auction house. I think I will have to go incase I can snag anything else <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
