ENGRAVING UPON AQUAMARINE.         139
In 1827, in the town of Mouzinskai'a in Russia, a superb specimen of aquamarine was found, valued, we are seriously told by the Russians, at $111,600.
ENGRAVING UPON AQUAMARINE.
A considerable number of both modern and ancient engravings are executed upon this stone. The gem represented in Fig. 66 is a part of the
collection of the National Library of France. It is the head of Julia, the daughter of Titus, and is signed by the artist Evodus. It was mounted ori­ginally with sapphires and pearls, and formed part of the decorations of a reliquary belonging to the abbey of St. Denis.
