<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bronwen, post: 554706, member: 5833&quot;]The cabochon is a dark green that looks nearly black except in good light.&nbsp; Seem to remember its being sold as chrysoberyl.&nbsp; If sillmanite, not sold that way.&nbsp; I went through a brief eBay period some years ago of buying specimens of minerals I particularly like, such as tourmaline, &amp; chrysoberyl is one of those.&nbsp; I didn&#039;t know that artificial gems like the pink one involved fiber optics until this thread, but always knew it was man made, despite some ridiculous claim made by street seller, like pink obsidian.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
