Unusual Ring Found Today

[wildcarrot]

Not sure what I've got here. It doesn't hold a silver acid test but it does weakly hold a platinum test. The ring is heavy with no markings that I can see. Looks like a figure of a lion on black onyx. It has a ring to it if you drop it on the table.......

Rastafarian symbol...If the ring is solid behind the onyx and was platt, it should weigh more.

You know, that'd be really interesting if someone had a silver mine and, in order to make their metal more valuable, had found a way to take the raw ore (possibly still with PGM's in it) and cast it into jewelry. That would REALLY be a nice price increase, especially if the person was going for volume sales over high-end (referring to the image quality from the 2 pics).

Interesting and unusual. I would be interested in finding out what it is made of and why it was made.

You want to sell it? What size is it, not that it matters. If you do let me know.

Lion of Judah
For the animated film, see The Lion of Judah.

The Lion of Judah is the symbol of the Hebrew tribe of Judah (the Jewish tribe). According to the Torah, the tribe consists of the descendants of Judah, the fourth son of Jacob. The association between Judah and the lion, most likely the Asiatic lion, can first be found in the blessing given by Jacob to Judah in the Book of Genesis.[1] The Lion of Judah is also mentioned in the Book of Revelation, as a term representing Jesus, according to Christian theology.[2] The lion of Judah was also one of the titles of the Ethiopian Emperor Haile Selassie and was depicted on the flag of Ethiopia from 1897-1974. Due to its association with Selassie, it continues to be an important symbol among members of the Rastafari movement.
