I got this rock today at one of those places in stores where you can fill a little bag with rocks. I could identify most of the rocks I got but this one is completely eluding me. I've been doing searches for it all evening and I still can't figure it out. It's about the size of a quarter, dark...

I received this bowl from my mother after she passed. I don't know how old it is or where it came from, but in researching Bohemia crystal I have not been able to find anything even close to looking like this. The bowl has etched tulips sideways on the bowl, and the leaves are silver. The rim...
