[QUOTE="Simona Buhus, post: 9823559, member: 17467"]Good evening, I would like to ask your opinion on the light blue stone which looks like a aquamarine to me, but when tested with the diamond tester (at least 10 times) it give diamond readings, the red lines goes all the way up on the tester, like it would do with diamonds. I have done alternate testing and the tester with glass does not react, with gemstone it goes up 2 lines, but with this blue stone went all the way up. Why is it so? Are they blue diamonds? Please let me know your opinions. The long brooch has a blue stone, but it does not look like a sapphire, looks more like a dark tanzanite, it is dark blue with purple hues. I have never seen tourmaline, please could you comment on possibilities. Furthermore, I have bought it as silver, but it does not test as silver, however it holds a bit on Platinum, but not all the way. It does not hold on 18 carat gold liquid. Finally, the last round brooch is for comparison reasons, I think is a gemstone, as the tester goes up one line, however I don’t know what gemstone. Any opinions would be much appreciated. Photos were taken in full evening natural light and the one with the necklace photo was taken inside the house. Thank you.
