Dear Toni-Lee,

    First of all, a GORGEOUS piece of Opal! As Charll said, "The fire!!"
Beautifully carved, but obviously a bottle from ca.1965-2007, and probably ca.1990-2007.
But you knew it was modern.

    But it is really stunning. I have an 18th C. Cicada SB in white Nephrite. I don't know if it's been posted yet (Charll, did you photograph it in LA?), but if not, I will as soon as I can get it photographed.
Best,
Joey
