Sorry, tried to look but the lack of light and the excess of reflection didn't allow me even a rough guess.

Is the white lines permanent or from the light reflection? if its permanent it could be a Star Sapphire. Lapis Lazuli is possible but usually lighter color Blue.

yes the white lines are in the stone i thought maybe sodalite .
but what do you think the value if it is a star sapphire.
thank you.

Sodalite is correct.

Sodalite is correct.

yep its sodalite! if the lines reflected in the light then maybe star Sapphire

The lines in the stone are all wrong for a star sapphire. Besides, a good one of that size would be some serious money. I would still like to see a photo taken in the sunshine before going with the flow. You must be seeing something I can't to go with sodalite, but ok, not entirely unlikely for a ring like that.

I know what sodalite looks like, I have some, made rings out of it and have sold it, and I actually like it. But the picture of the subject is too dark and too fuzzy. Just like to see a better shot of it. Not saying it ain't sodalite...................but your first two offerings do look a lot like the subject.

Thank you for your help, does sodalite have much value to it?
And yes i will get another pic for you .
Thanks again

A sodalite ring that size at my booth, with a prong setting instead of the "Southwest" style, would be $50-60, but I haven't purchased a silver ring that big lately, so it could be a few bucks more. I would purchase the stone at probably $5, for sure under $10 retail. Lapis is more money.
