Bolo tie just came in. Love the stone! DEEP FOREST GREEN. Not sure what it is but I like it! Thoughts?
Could it be chrysophrase? Sort of looks like it.
Pretty! Up in Canada they sell a lot of Nephrite (called BC Jade) that is set in jewelry or carved - yours looks similar, but I am certainly not anywhere close to an expert, so will defer to those with way more knowledge.
I’ve seen that color before…in creeks,ponds,even low spots on the river’s shoreline
lmao
“duckweedite” that’s exactly what i thought, too!
Reminds me of cultures grown on TCBS agar:
Not Chrysopraise either. Hmmmm?
I have something similar in brown, but it is not Translucent, Its Ocean Jasper. I spend alot of time researching stones but this one is a mystery. Im curious if this stone isTranslucent?
I think i know what it is…Green Obsidian
I had a gemologist look at it and she said it is nephrite jade with inclusions. She said she had only seen a few with light-colored inclusions as it is normally black.
Nephrite Jade i did see some pics that looked kinda similar but i went with the green Obsidian because yoy can find it in Nnew Mexico. Im glad you have an I.D now. Mystery over
