[QUOTE="Lefty, post: 362665, member: 2976"] Going on the photo you've posted I'd say - as has already been mentioned - that the likelyhood is that the stones are either clear quartz or topaz and they both look to have faceting potential. Neither colourless quartz nor colourless topaz are worth a fortune so you would't be able to on-sell the cut stones and retire :) . But both are well suited to faceting and jewellery setting and both can look very nice. Topaz in particular facets a very bright stone with plenty of "fire". If you'd like me to have a good look at them, drop me a pm. Cheers [/QUOTE]
