Stone lovers, help!  I cannot for the life of me remember what this green stone is.  Any thoughts?  I know what it isn't -- it isn't aventurine and it isn't jade.  The only way I have ever seen it is faceted cut, like this.  My recollection is it has an unusual name????

The only light green stone I know is Peridot, but that doesn't look like that. Sorry. The earrings look nice tho!

Nope, not peridot.  Thanks for the compliment, though.  I made these to match someone's ring with the same stone, but she couldn't remember the name either!

Citrine?  (spelling might be off)  Adventurine?

here's a nifty gemstone chart, Jan:

You know, maybe it is aventurine - I have aventurine, but perhaps this is a non-polished form -- reason being is that is does have these little inclusions that are sort of grayish????? I guess I'm going to have to go to the bead guy and ask him to be sure. I bought my d-i-l a pair of earrings a while back with this stone and they told me at the time what it was, but I do not remember them saying aventurine. Hmmmmmm - a mystery to be solved.

Found out this is rutlitated green quartz. Rutilations are the little thread-like inclusions -- legend has it they are angel hairs.
