[QUOTE="Arlene_V, post: 1003808, member: 129"]I know, it is actually pretty odd that I ever thought to do so! :) The tester is usually pretty good and the testing needle normally doesn't move if glass, or tests pretty low in the glass range. For shell and obviously hardstone, the needle clearly goes well above the glass range of the tester. I am very hands on with my jewelry and when I bought my gem tester about 10 years ago I went a bit nuts and tested virtually everything I could, including cameos and this is how I discovered that shell tests beyond the glass range. I am not sure why, but it does with my tester.[/QUOTE]
