Arthur posted the brooch on green. I cropped it. The Amethyst one I cropped from Google photo don't remember which site. The QEQM photo is from Corbis via Google. I do believe it a thistle but not the ones we know of. I believe there's a pearl in the video brooch.. PJ --Previous Message-- : I have watched and re-watched the relevant : segment of the documentary showing the : brooch, and looked at the screen shots. : : I still think that Annie has identified the : brooch. : : I think that the apparent differences are : due to the angle of the images. I recollect : having been very perplexed by different : photos of QEII's diamond and ruby brooch : with the lattice work on the end of the : brooch. It can look so different depending : on the angle of the photos. I think this is : another brooch which shows different : perspectives when photographed from : different angles. :
