Found this one of a kind beautiful 22K pendant at our local lake this morning. Rang up as a nickel on my Makro Kruzer in chest deep water. I had it tested and it is a minimum of 22K, could be higher, but didn't have any acid to test for 24K. At first I thought the object inside the gold chains was a tooth and took it to a veterinarian to find out what kind of animal it was from. The two vets that looked at it said that it wasn't a tooth at all and was probably some type of stone. If you have any idea what kind of stone it may be, please let me know. When I get a chance I'll take to a jeweler to see if they can tell me what it is.

UPDATE: It's bone.

Wicked cool fine!!! Glad to see the lake is paying off, finally. No idea on the stone/bone.
 
:dingding: Nice looking high karat ticket there!
 
nice score! Really would need to see the specimen under magnification. Maybe try using a macro setting on your camera phone or perhaps using a magnifying glass in front of the camera?
 
Nice find! Doesn’t look like it was professionally made? Or maybe it’s just beat up a bit?
 
Great start on the gold! Hi K is rare around these parts! Big congrads!!
