So I may have a bit of money in my closet...

Years back when I lived in North Carolina, I visited Hiddenite gem mine several times. I was a raging nerd. Among the rubies and sapphires and several other 3 dollar rough finds, was, now that I've gone through the collection, appears to actually be a chunk of what I think is hiddenite. And I know that shits expensive so I need some help identifying it.

Its a rough crystal that looks as if it were broken from a larger piece on one end, and the other has more of a sorta cubish shape to it some some flat faces. This chunk somewhere over the years broke off and is by itself now and just weighed out to ~30 carats. Given this is uncut and completely, flawlessly transparent, no cracks, hopefully of cutting quality, could anyone shed some light on what I should do with this or help me posatively identify it? I'm pretty close to pawning it, or seeing what they'll offer for it.

Did not read, but sell it to a jew

 

[JAHpow]

Go to a jewelry shop and have them look at it.

It's probably not what you think it is. But don't take it to a pawn shop. That is the worst thing yo ucan possibly do. Take it to a fine jewler.

Take a good photo of the crystal and its faces, try to show a clear side so I can see its cleavage and fracture.

I am studying for a masters in geology. I fucking love rocks.

You read me like a book! I'm really rock hard for this, I really hope it turns out to be cumingtonite. Just thinking about it tonight will make my bed rock!

Seriously though, every time I try to be gneiss I get the schist beaten out of me...

 

[Supergyro]

This discovery could rock your world.

[JDA]
