<p>[QUOTE="Toekneetang, post: 286319, member: 5773"]its brass or copper based ...I don't know how to test gemstones, so I did a YouTube test where put styrofoam afloat above A container filled of water and plate the stone on top of the styrofoam and use a strong magnet to see if the gem pulls towards the magnet. And all of these did just that...but then again that is a YouTube instruction video I found, so it could be insignificant . I have no idea if this is something special or not..it look super super old..and you can seem art carvings all over when you are able to look up close..,I tried to show that in the pictures I took, but make sure not to mistake my reflection in some of the photos.[ATTACH=full]92236[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]92237[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]92238[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]92239[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
