<p>[QUOTE=&quot;RachelW, post: 9824103, member: 15376&quot;]I&#039;m still out so will be brief, but update! Surprisingly, the antiquarian wasn&#039;t all that enthusiastic. He said since the obelisk so damaged collectors won&#039;t be interested. He did say that the crowns weren&#039;t french. It&#039;s a cool piece but not precious stones (didn&#039;t test), and wasn&#039;t a &#039;piece importante&#039;.</p><p><br /></p><p>Next went to the gold store to test/sell the tesbih beads (more on that later), but she directed mento a jewelry store to test the stones on the boxes. Walked over there, tested them. </p><p><br /></p><p>Every single white stone is a diamond, and the &#039;glass&#039; on the pyramid&#039;s paintings are white sapphires.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie99" alt=":woot:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>She doesn&#039;t think the red or green are stones, but probably paste (again, not tested, said she couldn&#039;t with her tool), the pearls are real, and the crown is probably set in silver according to the era. Seemed knowledgeable and excited! Asked to keep them for research but since I don&#039;t live close I let her take photos instead and we exchanged emails. </p><p><br /></p><p>2 EUROS PEOPLE <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie14" alt=":arghh:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie14" alt=":arghh:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie14" alt=":arghh:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
