<p>[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 579688, member: 5833"]My immediate reaction was glass. It's quite chipped & abraded on the long edge you've shown us. Can't imagine your mother was particularly hard on jewellery. Unless the stone spent time as a ring before being set as a pendant, don't know how it got so beat up. The color is closer to the sea green color suggested by the name 'aquamarine' than the very pale, irradiated blue that has been the preferred color, for genuine stones & fake.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
