So I am wondering if you Steemers want to know how to identify stones/gold/silver. I have a bunch of tips and tricks that are reliable if you are interested. I am certified in gemology and I love what I do. I am educated on the gold market and love conversations about what the real worth of things are. Ask me anything! 
Hi, which places do you like to shop or buy gold? which do you prefer gold or silver?
@andrejmcclendon I enjoy shopping other pawn shops and resale shops! If you bring a jewelers loupe and rare earth magnet you can find gold at thrift stores or good wills in the U.S.
love that purple one in the middle... never seen such a color in a stone.
Brazilian amethyst!
