<p>[QUOTE="reader, post: 639623, member: 255"]Your Mayan mask appears to be preEagle which would be 20s-40s and my totally gut feeling is that it’s from the later end. They’re wonderful tourist pieces which are still made today. I am not a jeweler so wait for Holly and others to identify the stone but most of the ones Ive seen are dyed onyx. They were also made in glass (Yours is stone). The color is supposed to represent jadite which was sacred to the ancient Mayan kings. I believe the true Mexican jadite was sourced in Guatemala but again, let others identify the stone.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
