[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 236717, member: 2844"]The purpose of lemon juice is a reaction with the calcium in the coral, it bubbles. Do it at the back. Or leave it in milk for a couple of hours, red coral will colour the milk. But my favourite is simply a more detailed picture of the stone, no risks involved. Just place it on a white piece of paper and take a picture close enough so we can see if there are lines in the coral, or other details. It doesn't have to be glass though, I am thinking an early plastic.[/QUOTE]
