Gemstone Identification: What Are My Stones?


Question

green gemstone  


large gemstone  
I am wondering what kind of stone I have?

Answer
Hi Mandy,
You have two very attractive stones. The only way to know what they are Is to test them. They look like any of 30+ gems. They could even be synthetics. If I had to take a wild guess I would say the green one looks like tourmaline and the yellow one looks like topaz. They could be but I wouldn't bet on it. The best thing to do is take them to a gemologist and have them Identified. Other than that I cannot say. Thanks for asking,

Peter
