[QUOTE="Jivvy, post: 1085175, member: 8184"]I've been meaning to ask about this cross for ages. You cannot imagine my chagrin when I opened its[I] own individual box meant to protect i[/I]t and discovered it in two pieces. Oh, I suspect you can. :arghh: Anyway. This came to me (30 years ago?) from an aunt who traveled. And shopped at thrift stores. No idea where she found it. Obviously, it's reconstituted, because you know, it's molded. Correct me if I'm wrong and it's not amber at all. But it floats in salt water and it fluoresces. Thoughts on where it came from? And should I glue it back together? It's a very clean break and I have good glue. No intention to sell it, but would send it to a new home if I found one I thought loving enough for its sad state. :joyful: [ATTACH=full]210316[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]210317[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]210318[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]210319[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]210320[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
