First I thank you all for your help only I have been reading allot about this and really just because you think it's died even though I have seen it closer up than you can with a photo and I think it's not died .... it's like a large Ruby in the hands of a poor man the odds are it's fake because of the value but I could tell with a 10 power loop if it's real or fake, I tell you it may be shadows you see because up close you can see the matrix in the stone going through naturally. Have you ever seen the same piece or design before? I would like to see it because I have been looking for quite some time now and nothing. I think it's very old and I am trying to find out just how old it is by the design. Please help with what I am trying to find out. How about the hook in the mouth? also the design on the belly?. As far as the eye I am an artist myself and can see where it works. Let's just give the benefit of a closer look and telling me it's fake is not working for me, I know better. I know all of you are offering help and I do respect that and I am doing even more study and they have been making fakes for thousands of years and they have value also. One thing I'm not selling this piece I'm keeping it... I like it. ( also I can feel the power it gives off, some may know what I mean by that ). I read you could buy 1000 and 10 could be real so I do understand where you are coming from, if I was looking at a photo and with the odds. I would like to find out for sure about the time when it was carved by the design. If it really was a copy there should be lot's more out there and I don't see any.... thanks everyone
