Are you sure that this is emerald? #-o #-o

The Appearance of the stone is just like serpentin.

But how ever if it is emerald then it is very very low quality emerald

There are new people to the world of gems everyday, maybe this peson is serious, after all, he went to the trouble of posting pictures? Maybe we should not judge him/her to harshly, as people get taken all the time, even the ones with knowledge. With that said, the Emerald is very low quality, if Emerald at all, many Emeralds are out there that size & bigger, just like opaque Ruby. The stone would be nice to give to a young person who is just starting out collecting rocks, as far as worth, pennies on the carat, if you could find a buyer?

my mother gave me her 'emerald' ring that she purchased from the house of onyx many years ago. it is a beautiful ring (well, lol, she and i like it), set in a beautiful 14kt gold setting, but the emerald is opaque and faceted. ? odd that it was faceted instead of cabbed.

Ohh, so I´m young then? :oops: :wink:

Nevertheless, I agree, don´t judge anyone until we really know he/she´s a fake. Everyone is a beginner in the beginning, ey?

kishore, can you provide any data for identification of that stone?

also, do you have any gemology tools on hand? which ones?

considering the size and weight, probably a 0.1g scale would be sufficient to get an SG measurement using the wire method (is your scale 0,1g accuracy or better?)
