Rare 1.5 crt Natural Parti Green Sapphires💍💎❤️ What’s the color of this sapphire?2yr ⋅ Nashstore ⋅ r/Gemology
I totally thought it was boulder opal at first glance but it has zero play of color. Under magnification the matrix looked closer to turquoise or lapis, but I've never seen turquoise so blue or a lapis so light. Also it's set in 14k gold which unusual for turquoise. Any ideas? =)2yr ⋅ dominicr ⋅ r/Gemology
Is this piece of turquoise (on the surface of a boulder I’m told) worth anything, and if anything, is it worth getting it mounted into a nice piece of jewelry?1yr ⋅ Academic-Dare8138 ⋅ r/Gemology
I want make a wax mould of this pendant with the stone in place, however the rubber heats up to 180 °C and I'm not sure the stone could withstand that heat. I believe it's an unheated aquamarine since it has two-phase inclusions, but I'm not even 100% positive that it's an aquamarine. Thoughts?1yr ⋅ BewitchedQuills ⋅ r/Gemology
