[QUOTE="WalnLiz, post: 111356, member: 147"] Hi Bec. The stone unfortunately looks like a generally opaque corundum crystal, and would not be of facetable grade. They can sometimes be cabbed for a dress ring, but having those growth lines can often make polishing difficult. The stone would be best kept as a specimen for your mineral collection as crystal edged stones always draw attention. Great to hear that your starting to get some better results with the gem hunting and best of luck out there on the streams. Cheers Wal. [/QUOTE]
