[QUOTE="Simona Buhus, post: 3822587, member: 17467"]Hello again, Recently I read a post here, the advise was to flash a UV light on new purchases, so I did. I found this yellow earrings, on normal light the stones are transparent, but when flashing a UV light they change to pink. I did some research and Google came up with Calcite. Is this a possibility? What is your opinion on what stone is the transparent one? Also, would anyone like to comment on the style, age, the yellow bids? Secondly, the lot contained these bids from a necklace, and they turn yellow in UV light, the small bids float in salty water, the static experiment works, they pick up paper, and they look very well polished, more like glass. The earrings on the other hand shine green- yellow in UV light, they feel light and also pick up paper when I run them against a cloth. The necklace bids don't look like plastic, any ideea what they are? What about the yellow stone earrings, any ideea if they are plastic and what design is that, I really like it. I am considering restrunging the necklace bids, as the professionals are really expensive, I would like to make sure that the bids are real. Thank you so much.
