Hi Folks,

 

 

Hoping that some of you can help with a debate we are having here in the office.

 

See attached image for source of debate.

 

Is the agate used for this snuff box dyed or not, and if it is dyed what are the 'usual' methods for doing so?

 

I'm happy for people to use my direct email when replying to save filling up inboxes!

 

Many thanks,

 

Vicky
