Item Details

Description

The story has it that my great great grand father was working as a gate keeper for one of the Egyptian tomb, a pyramid that was being excavated by a British Egyptologists in the early 1800's and this great great grandfather of ours found this stone some where inside and since they were not paying him money and just giving him food and water for him guarding the tomb so he decided to keep it. After all it was discovered that they were just British tomb raiders and has nothing to do with Egyptology.

It is a small stone about an inch and a half in diameter too large to be part of a ring but it is big enough to be part of a head peace. On one surface as you can see in the picture is a natural shape of a tulip flower that duplicate it self toward the center of the stone as you can see. On another part of the stone the exact same tulip flower but in miniature scale that also duplicate it self also in such a minute way. There is no tool markings that I could of detected and every one seen it almost agreed that it is a natural carving for it is impossible to duplicate the Tulip in such exact way with any perimitive tools nor a new one.
