[QUOTE="Lefty, post: 438573, member: 2976"] Hi 7.62 - I don't want to sound negative but it looks a lot like the pieces of opalescent glass often sold at gem shows :( It's got the same colour, same shape. They saw the stuff into blocks and them tumble it I think to achieve the smoothed-off shape. A mate bought some and cabbed it, it looked nice cabbed but it's fairly fragile and he broke it a couple of times before finally finishing it. Hopefully I'm wrong and it's some nice moonstone.
