[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 9533119, member: 2844"]Beautiful, gauntlett. Etruscan Revival. Another vote for turquoise. I don't think I've ever seen variscite in 19th century jewellery. Only in pre-Historic and pre-Columbian or modern SW jewellery. Green turquoise is a natural occurrence. A lot of turquoise is green, also straight from the mine. You can find it in Iran, where you'll find a huge range of turquoise colours, in other parts of Asia like Tibet and China, and also in Europe. I seem to remember it's also found in the US and Mexico.[/QUOTE]
