[QUOTE="KSW, post: 8581310, member: 8708"]Sorry for the radio silence, busy day. The centre stones are definitely glass, the others I have no idea about as Mary is totally indecisive. She says glass, I recalibrate and she says gemstone and then test again and it’s glass. I don’t know how she works, some sort of thermal thing I think although I think Mary just works on blind guesses, throwing a pin into a gemologist book, smoke and mirrors and her trusty crystal ball. I’ve learned not not take any notice of her WAG’s as to what type of stone it is unless it’s the easy ones like diamond, Ruby, garnet, emerald,sapphire and amethyst where she is very reliable. I don’t think she tries very hard with semi precious stuff :rolleyes:. She’s normally dead on with glass too but not with this. It does test as silver although the chain isn’t.[/QUOTE]
