Celtic Green Stone?

Anyone ever heard of it?
As far as I know 'green stone' is a generic term for many different stones, but I was told this stone is called Celtic green stone and comes from Scotland or Ireland. It's could be mistaken for a type of jade , only more of a pale olive and white cloudy effect.
I tried googling and couldn't find anything. Just curious.

Cant say I have ever heard of it Janelle, I dont think you will get many replies on here though/ just the mere mention of the word CELTIC? will make certain folks run a mile

the Rangers Blue Stone is far superior....



As for Celtic Green.....try searching under malachite or Irish malachite.

LOL I was going to put it in our private little talk room aka the coffee shop, so I could ask you and TBP, since we're the only ones around. Then I thought, maybe it was best to start a new thread

Sorry can't magically change the stone to blue, but I can stop calling it Celtic green, if I can find what type of stone it is. I'll try your suggestion. Thanks.

No it's definitely not malachite. I did find a lovely pair of earrings though

NOW THAT!!!!!!!! is typical woman for you?

hmm.....try

'tacky, tourist tat thing for plastic paddies made from green painted stone manufactured in China'....?

After all, are most of your touristy, cuddly kualas and kangaroos not from there?

Yes...nothing like a good old boomerang made in China
No, this is definitely not tacky touristy made in china stuff.
It's jewellery given my by my mother in law. Bought by my father-in-law many years ago from Scotland.
I would have liked to have bought a nice pair of earrings to go with the set, but only if I can find the right stone.
Comparing the stone to images is a bit ridiculous, so I've discovered.
I think I'll have to wait until I can talk to someone from the gem/stone organisations.

I haven't forgotten your offer Gordy. With it being school holidays and all the drama with the floods, i haven't had time. I'll try and get it done this weekend, if the offer is still open,thanks.
