[QUOTE="Pat Hogen, post: 452101, member: 11720"] First I would do a density test on it to determine if it was beryl. If it comes out in the beryl range I would decide whether it was precious enough to do a refractive index test to see what form of beryl it might be, but looking at the crystallization in the stone I am not sure I would go that far unless only for location identification. Density test is simple enough, do you have scales? [/QUOTE]
