[QUOTE="DBinSV, post: 353700, member: 7320"]The stone in this ring belonged to my maternal grandfather. My guess, for a number of reasons, is that the portrait carved into it is that of Alexander the Great. I don’t know how my grandfather used the stone, whether it was set in a ring or something else. My mother apparently had a ring made to accommodate the stone and she wore this ring religiously every day of her adult life. I was originally going to pass this along to my niece with nothing more than the personal context but I thought I would ask whether anyone could venture a guess as to the type of stone this is.[ATTACH=full]120226[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
