I found a necklace at a flea market lady said it wasnt real silver necklace… but I recognized the label stones and never seen one so big so figured was worth it for the stone…… the metal tests as sterling and I put acid direct on it usuallyp lates pieces with the acid will start reacting relatively quick so pretty sure it is real silver. One of the stones popped off a few days in and it was 15 carats so today i decided to pop out the big stone since it was much larger… it weight 72.3 carats

So some discussion points

What should I set the stone in…. A ring…..A solitary necklace…. Or some sort of specialty item (im a bit of a fantasy nerd maybe a staff?)

How much might it cost to buyand where can I buy a second one incase I want to make a fancy pair of cloak clasps or do matching necklace and ring

Have you ever found such a large stone in the wild? (I know its synthetic but this is largedt ive found for faceted stone next best was a 26ct kunzite)

Should i just put it back in the original necklace?
