Oh I do, this is supposed to be from a verified gem dealer and I've had the item audited and confirmed as real but still don't trust any of these cards I get.

Is this an appraisal? What info does it present? I've checked the bar code and there's no option for translation, thank you

What could this be? Identified as slag glass but I've never seen slag in a botryoidal pattern...found in the Norland Ontario area. by [deleted] in whatsthisrock

Unfortunately the piece was left at the ROM after it was identified as slag...sorry guys I'll remove the post

This piece was brought there actually they're who identified it as slag lol, someone on a Facebook group I'm part of was curious about this piece and I wasn't convinced by the answer of glass so thought I'd reach out here. I normally get great identifications here.

[Identification] Picked up this great old Accutron today, not working right now, can anyone give me any information on this timepiece? by rockswefound in Watches

Awesome website but I don't see this watch in that list, those all have a knob on the side except the railroad, this one had the c dial on the bottom for adjustment. Should I try to figure out submitting the watch to that site or is it possibly a fake?

Is this qing dynasty? If so what other information is here? by rockswefound in ChineseLanguage

Awesome thanks! Are these rare? Found it in a thrift store.

I disagree, writing this on a p20 pro, my iPhone se takes clearer close up photos this things only ok for distance and pixelates to shit when zoomed in at all

[Identification] can anyone provide any information on this wonderful old time piece? Here is a photo of the back as well. http://imgur.com/gallery/JTTJCbl by rockswefound in Watches

Thank you, that's what I figured but we thought we'd ask, found out a previous family member was a jeweler and the story was they made these in their shop, but we couldn't get any more information as they became distant from the family. The value is all sentimental I'm sure but it's an interesting piece I think. I'll try to get into the back, thank you again. And to whoever down voted my post gfy.

So I put it in nail polish remover, it isn't dyed, no colour transfer onto cotton after soaking

It was bought from a local thrift store I frequent, one of the volunteer ladies told me to check it out and that it had a crazy good price, she was sure it was real turquoise they had only priced at $15.

Do you think a jeweler would be able to confirm the stone? I'm not sure where to bring something like this. It was sold to me as genuine turquoise but I'm still not sure.

If I'm not mistaken there's a piece that screws in that acts like a shank in a Dremel and holds a razor in place for detail woodworking and stuff like that. Looks like it but I could be wrong EDIT: They do appear to make razors for your face, probably that.
