<p>[QUOTE="Msalicia, post: 1659497, member: 13664"]You have been given good advise and possibilities. The bottom line is a jeweler with a gem tester can tell you the family and maybe even the stone. What is also important in testing would be hardness, thus eliminating the softer greens and harder depending on the number it comes in at. A physical inspection from a jeweler will also help eliminate some of the possibilities or see characteristics that are conducive of what you have. They are pretty in any event and have probably been restrung if vintage.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
