More Great Information on Faceted Stone:
Gemologists, can someone help me with this gem identification?
I am fairly new to gem identification. I have no problem with identifying faceted stones, but translucent to opaque cabachons give me problems. I have a hard time with the RI reading. I have a stone which is semi translucent with a blue turquoise body color with swirls of green kind of malachite color. It does not look like real azurmalachite so I was thinking stabilized, but my RI reading is off. One time, I got a RI around 1.60; the next time I tried I got a value which is closer to amazonite. Any ideas? Could it be stabilized azurmalachite? Could amazonite really be a possibility because I think the color is just off?
My eye stopped on the word "swirls" as natural minerals rarely, if ever, show curved markings. The description you give of your stone makes me think of the many glass imitations of turquoise, jade and many other stones that were produced before other better synthetics were developed. The R.I. of 1.6 is well within the correct range for glass. The trick with distant vision R.I. readings, by the way, is to get the drop of contact fluid small enough and fiddle about with the focus on the refractometer until it is just right. Have you taken the S.G. yet? I would recommend that you spend a bit of time looking at your stone under the microscope as the glass imitations all contain a gas bubble or two close enough to the surface to be seen if you look hard enough. Another trick to tell glass imitations is to use the tip of your tongue. Allow your stone and a piece of something like quartz to stand for 10 min or so to let them reach room temperature then pick up each with tongs and touch it on the tip of your tongue, the glass will feel distinctly warmer than the natural crystal (doesn't work with opal, amber, jet and a few other things but it is very useful). To be honest your stone does not sound like azurmalachite and amazonite will never show a swirled structure.
Good luck with your gem testing - I have been doing it for a living for over 40 years and it still feels like a hobby that people pay me to do.
