Hit some parks and got 77 coins, a car , junk jewelry and this very nice stone in a 925 setting, about the size of a dime. It looks like tourmalene but I am not a pro on stones so will take it to my jeweler & see. The back side is open but has a lot of silver setting on it. Steve in so az

Very nice Steve. It does look like tourmalene, I know nothing about stones and gems and am NO help at all. But it sure is a nice find.

That's a very nice find. You should buy a gem tester.

Nice find. Being that it is cushion cut, it should be real. Can't tell by the pic what it is though. Congratulations.
