At the last moment I decided to do a bit of digging after a trip to the library to pick up seasons 3 and 4 of Night Court. Hit a local park and my second target of the day had me shaking so bad I had to quit for the day. This now adorns my Hunny Bunny's finger. By the way the first target was a quarter!

As clear as the stone is, looks to me to be peridot. That's a big hunk though and probably a pricey ring. It would have had me shaking too.
 

i go with peridot too...and why "Night Court" when you can watch "Trailor Park Boys"?!

Your Hunny Bunny is one lucky gal! Congrats on the nice ring. (I vote for Peridot).

HH,

Great find! Stone looks to be an Olive quartz or peridot. Have it checked. But still it's a beautiful ring!
 

Looks to me to be a peridot. Emerald is much darker and richer green. There are other stones this could be as well. A jeweler could do a refractive index test easily without doing damage to the stone or the setting. Whatever it is, it is a very nice find. Congratulations! :sunny:
 

Simply beautiful! Lovely ring!

You can stop shaking though, now that she's claimed it, you'll never get it again. ;)
 

Lord tunderin me son, tat ring is right some nice, she's a ting of beauty fur sure.
I tink yer wifey should go straight to the galley and cook ye up a big mess of cad fish fur tat ring right dare, and a good slug of screech to wash her all down wit.

Happy days me bouy,
ZDD
 

Looks like you got some brownie points saved up on that finger bling, congrats on the find Leslie.
 

Remove the rocks and you probably have 5 grams of 14K gold - Melt value = $ 124.40 American dollars.

might want to check your math.
Who would scrap that ?

Nice one for sure.
 

I really believe you should have it checked out. The large stone appears to be Alexandrite. If it is natural Alexandrite, it would be worth
a small fortune.
Also, it would look great in the banners.

Added info; Alexandrite from the Ural Mountains in Russia is green by daylight and red by incandescent light. Other varieties of alexandrite may be yellowish or pink in daylight and a columbine or raspberry red by incandescent light.

Gorgeous ring. I think Alexandrite too but I'm no expert. Good job
 

That is one sweet ring !
 

Beautiful ring, Leslie. Between you, mud and senda, I'm getting discombobulated. Hope to hit the river this weekend and find something nice. Trying to get in contact with a local who lost his wedding ring and recover it for him and his family. That would feel almost as good as finding a beautiful ring like that. Almost.....Glad Hunny Bunny likes it.
