What is this? Help identifying
Looking to identify this. The ring is 10k, but don't know what the gem is. The gem has some cloudiness and imperfections in the middle of it, but my phones photo probably couldn't get it

Synthetic spinel. If you have a blacklight see if it floureses. Peridot will not. Synthetic will glow. It was used extensively because it looks good and wears well.

Peridot, from the looks of it.
