[QUOTE="Alegandron, post: 7933481, member: 51347"]Unfortunately, I could not render an opinion. However, if I were asked to buy it, I would be skeptical. Thank you for calling me out, however [USER=110350]@DonnaML[/USER] provided a great website to start research. My heart scarab is much plainer, made of stone, and has no belly markings. It does not have the necklace hole like my other much smaller and traditional scarabae. I ensure my scarabs have good, solid provenance, as many can and are faked.
