    Hi,
    I’m not sure what I’m seeing on the stamp other than the two other obvious stamps

    Any help is very much appreciated.

    I have not tested them for dye yet but I’m thinking they might hold up as not

    I can see white in the damaged spot on the bead below, so I would say they are dyed. Probably howlite.

    @Any Jewelry I tried removing any color with nail polish remover and was unsuccessful. Any other way I can test these to be sure? Ty

    I just replied in your other thread:
    https://www.antiquers.com/threads/turquoise-or-dyed-howlite.83054/#post-9714386

    I don't know of any test for stabilised stones though. You'd have to use something to dissolve the resin, which would also damage the stone to a great extent.:( The point of stabilising stones is to make them stronger and retain the dye.
