Precious Gemstones Appraisal

Tumbled Blue-Green Gemstones

The item consists of three small, tumbled gemstones, likely turquoise or a similar copper-bearing mineral, held in the palm of a hand. Each stone is irregularly shaped, characteristic of tumbled or naturally worn river stones, with smoothed, rounded edges. Their color varies from a vibrant blue-green to a richer, darker teal, indicating potential variation in mineral composition or matrix inclusions. The surfaces of the stones exhibit a polished or semi-polished finish, creating a moderate luster that reflects light. Visible surface imperfections include small dark spots that appear to be natural inclusions or possibly tiny drill holes, suggesting they might have been intended for use in jewelry or crafting. One stone shows a notable light-colored, almost white, streak or patch, which could be part of the natural matrix, a scratch, or an area of less intense color saturation. The stones appear to be roughly 1 to 2 centimeters in their longest dimension. There are no discernible manufacturer's marks, signatures, or stamps. Given their tumbled nature, these stones are likely of contemporary origin, processed for decorative or metaphysical purposes. The craftsmanship is evident in the smoothing and polishing, which highlights the natural beauty of the material, though variations in color and minor surface irregularities are consistent with natural gemstones. Overall condition appears good, with expected variations inherent to natural materials.
