A very nice generic type though.</p><p>Some of those Brazilian birds have silver feet, so maybe have them tested?</p><p><br /></p><p>You can get someone who works with semi-precious stones to find you a nice piece of amethyst and drill holes in it for a new base. It will look as new and have more value.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
