Take it to a gemmologist if you really want to know. Its impossible to tell from a picture if the stone is cut.

Your welcome.

Have you I.D.'d the stones yet?

I would second having a gemologist look at it. Looks like poor quality emerald to me. Possibly in a hand-made setting. Silver? Platinum?

I can't even guess what it is from, or the size. Could you post a photo with a dime or other coin for comparison?

Poor quality emerald? If that were emerald they'd be of a great clarity!
Colour leaves a bit to wish for though.

But due to emerald being sensitive I don't think one would cut it into a hear like shape.

North Carolina has emeralds. The setting looks hand-made to me.

I can see facets on the stones. Why facet peridot? I mean, sure you can facet it. But why?

 

[Eu_citzen]

Faceted peridots actually make very nice stones.
