<p>[QUOTE=&quot;George Chaney, post: 4516058, member: 19137&quot;]The opening under the stone is to allow the light to refract and the stone to sparkle more brightly. The &quot;crack&quot; in the stone is possibly an inclusion and not a crack. It does appear to be a tanzanite, but the only way to know for sure on any of the details is to have a gemologist test the stone. It is highly unlikely to be glass, and if that is indeed an inclusion, more likely to be natural. I have owned a couple of antique rings where the naturally earth mined stones had inclusions like this. In terms of dating, I am in agreement, IMHO, this is a more modern setting.</p><p><br /></p><p>I did want to add; Have the gold tested. The angle of the picture and cut of the stone could be showing the cutlet through to the top which is the tip of the pavilion of the stone <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
