Friday before work Gold find!

[artslinger]

Hi friends, I found this Gold at a garage sale. I was the first one there, so I bought all of the jewelry, then rushed to work. The ring with the blue stones I had placed it on the plated pile, as I had not found any markings. This morning I took it to a jeweler, and he confirmed as Gold, along with three additional earrings. Does anybody have any idea what those stones are called? Thank you as always. I appreciate it.

Looks like turquoise.

Yep, turquoise.

Good little haul. I believe the ring is set with Persian turquoise to be specific.

The rings stones look like Turkish turquoise. The earrings stones look like larimar. Nice finds!

Another material the stones could be is dyed howlite. It is used in place of turquoise. A jeweler could tell you for sure. It's almost impossible to tell from a photo.
