Or to even ascertain its value.

These are emiralds. If it is the original one, he should count himself lucky to have such.

These, in 200BC were called the corner stones, once u cut them, the corner glitters even more. Congratulations, You and ur cousin are the next Dangote

But I also pray this is not that same stone we use for scrubbing the sole of our feet when we were small. grin

Look for a way and write "precious" on each of the stones.

If it's just lying around in his neigbhorhood on top ground instead of under it then it's worthless. From the looks of it my best guess would be that it's sand that has been subject to extreme heat without high pressure(notice the obvious porosity visually), for example lightning. Still worthless at any rate. Virtually all precious stones are forged under both extreme temperature and pressure.

I tried digging further using the information(Tibetan Green SeaFoam)
gotten from Google Lens, but it wasn't successful.

Another thing pops up.
Don't know if I'm not doing something right.

How large is the neighbourhood so that we can start budgeting ahead.
Re: Are This Stones Valuable?? by Bintabisiriyu: 9:31am On Dec 12, 2022
These are adamantium stones, a high tolerance metal alloy which can be bended or bonded into any shape, and they are rarely indestructible, for those of us who knows science might have heard of this stone before.

Op just locate any steel factory they will buy it from you

That is quartz.

The coloured quartz (green, purple...) are more valuable than the clear quartz because they are rarer.

But quartz are generally not valuable.

it seams like one. I don't just know it's name. Our generation has no business with it. Older generations can easily point out it uses among their folks I guess

Emeralds? LMAO... NL geologist just declared some random stones in a not too clear picture as emeralds. Emeralds are 20 times more rare than diamonds and they don't look anything like these.

These are granites. But they’re rich in the mineral chlorite. Hence the green coloration. They’re usually found in granitic ring dykes located at Jos and probably Gombe area of Nigeria.

Op the stones are only used for Construction and stuffs based on the strength and instead of the beauty
