Blue green stone

I believe that the stone is natural because of eye visible inclusions. There is 925 mark only. What do you think?

If it’s natural - it’s definitely dyed, or oiled with a colored oil. You can see the color concentrations along the surface reaching inclusions. So possibly natural, but considered heavily treated. Not at all like traditional oiling /resin that are not colored.

Could still be a synthetic or simulated that’s been heavily treated.

Imo, only.

on black background inclusions are white

I’m not sure if they are inclusions or fractures. It could be an emerald but it appears to have a fracture / inclusion right across the the centre and also across a corner. I think there’s a high chance of the gem breaking apart if accidentally whacked against something.

I would guess emerald, but would also be concerned about the durability of the stone due to the fractures/inclusions.

It's pretty!

I would have guessed aqua or green beryl -- but both are generally pretty clean and neither should have those giant cracks. The mounting is intact so hard to believe that all that rough wear-and-tear happened in situ. Maybe it is a battered beryl that someone then put in a very inexpensive mounting...?

Could it be tourmaline?

So many fakes these days, hard to tell from a photo. If you type "paraiba" or "angelina jolie emeralds" on etsy you'll get a bunch of quenched glas or crackled quartz in 5$ settings.

...or "angelina jolie emeralds"

Is that a trade name? Like Linde star sapphire?

for sure!

Joke aside, if you ever typed "paraiba" on etsy, you probably stumbled upon the hollywood stars dupe jewellery, same as with the royal or Kate dupes.

it is just the prettiest colour
