Physical properties

Formation & geological history

The rounded shape and vivid uniform coloration suggest a human-processed specimen rather than a natural mineral; it was likely melted or lab-grown and then polished, with no geological age applicable.

Uses & applications

Used mainly in costume jewelry, craft pieces, and collecting; it has little value unless confirmed as a natural gemstone.

Geological facts

Natural green minerals such as aventurine quartz, fluorite, or peridot can resemble it, but the bright confetti-like inclusions and iridescent coating are typical of manufactured material.

Field identification & locations

Check with a loupe for bubbles, curved flow lines, or a surface coating—features indicating glass; hardness, refractive-index, and gemological testing are needed for identification. Similar products are widely made in China and elsewhere.
