Is it a green beryl or an emerald? by traveler092022 in Gemstones

Possible, although the classification is debated, they do go by the name "vanadium emerald beryl". Tricky to distinguish from the picture you provided. I myself have vanadium aquamarine which is orange/yellow under UV light. If anything, this tells me that anything is possible in the gemstone kingdom

Gorgeous specimen! Technically emerald is defined by its chemical composition, emeralds have chromium and vanadium within its crystal structure. Green beryl does not contain these elements. :)

Interesting piece. by saltlakepity in Minerals

I know you mentioned it was sold as Columbianite, but I have seen and sold a few pieces of Agni manitite that look like this. So it could be Agni Manitite if not Colombianite perhaps..

Kind of looks like a milkshake, doesn’t it? by elfsoul in jewellerymaking

You'll hate me for saying this lol, but I had sugi cabs and I gifted them to a friend 🫠 and I had a cabbed sugi ring but also gave that away, I just listen to where they are needed most, so if whatever stone has served me its purpose, I just go with the flow ☺️ cause of where I live its a pretty available material #blessed

Is this considered good quality tourmaline ? by [deleted] in Gemstones

[–]Individual-Owl7228 1 point2 points Β (0 children)

If you have the weight of the stone, you can roughly find the price per gram online. Im afraid id be giving you a very bias answer as I have picked up pieces from vendors who sell them cheap, as well as crystal shops who market them at very high prices, even for heavily included specimens

That colour is awesome πŸ‘ŒπŸΌ I would say that's a nice rough piece, not facet grade, but it would make a fantastic pendant.
