<p>[QUOTE="Aquitaine, post: 255951, member: 602"]Hi all!! I believe it was [USER=55]@all_fakes[/USER] that posted a link for someone recently that allowed me to (I think identify a stone) in a ring of my Mother's!!!!! We were all walking on the North End on Block Island in the 1950's....I was a kid....Mom always was watching the rolling surf for stones that she could tumble to shiny....she dabbled in making bracelets and rings........she darted into the receding low surf and came up with what is in the attached images!! She also liked big, heavy stuff so the setting is all her idea <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie58" alt=":joyful:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie58" alt=":joyful:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> !! I believe the stone is Amazonite....1" X 3/4" across the top; depth down approximately 3/8"; 7 diamonds that are bigger than 1/16" but less than 1/8"; Total WT of the RING: 47g. I can see no markings on it ANYWHERE on what k gold it might be.......thanks for any input and help.......!!!! And yes, the stone is just about that bright....did not use a flash, but cameras can account for color differences!!! Just an addendum.....a thought...Block Island does have a lot of shipwrecks around it.....maybe various stones might have been used for ballast.....a thought??????????</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]79466[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]79461[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]79463[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]79464[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]79465[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
