I bought a similar one on eBay for 15 bucks a couple years back, cabbed it and made a pendant. It starred decently, but not exceptionally. I have a serious fondness for this material but it isn't very valuable. |

Hard to be sure from picture, but it looks like golden sheen sapphire from North Eastern Kena. https://www.gemadventurer.com/gemstones ... -sapphire/ |

There has been some serious hype and high prices asked for the gold sheen material, but it can sometimes be purchased very inexpensively. I have a nice stockpile of the more common straight black and gold stuff. |
