<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 4297932, member: 2844&quot;]If it is coral, it will look much better with some oil. Put a small drop of oil on your finger and rub it on the beads. Wipe the excess oil off, and please show the result.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>The alternative could be rhodochrosite, especially since the silver fineness and style make me think it could be German. Rhodochrosite used to be a very popular stone in Germany. It is found there, and was used especially from the 1930s-1970s.</p><p><br /></p><p>But there are some holes in the stone which suggest coral, so I think a touch of oil will help a lot in determining the stone.</p><p><br /></p><p>Rhodochrosite</p><p><img src="https://www.startpage.com/av/proxy-image?piurl=https%3A%2F%2Fgeology.com%2Fminerals%2Fphotos%2Frhodochrosite.jpg&amp;sp=1630148682T9f4823a5d1f2cdb3eb7f7d14a6bfd16d13a2cc54c99803cd486f3d969cfccfcd" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
