Description

A plastic box with an interesting group of synthetic, imitation, and altered gemstones, identified and with sources. 53.3 grams total with box, 2-17mm (1/4 - 1/2"). Previously the property of an important private mineral collector, d.1998; many of the specimens formerly with Gregory, Bottley & Co., 30 Old Church Street, Chelsea, London, UK. Dr Bonewitz notes: 'This box is particularly interesting because it contains the relatively unsophisticated gemstone intimations and alterations of the 1940s and 1950s.' [12]
