I have a refractometer w/a scratched ( measuring glass ,or hemi filter ,  prism )
I've seen a few different names for this piece of polished glass that the gem sits on.
My ? Is is it worth getting it re- finished or polished out

On a slightly different subject would anybody know where to find geodes that have not been split

#7 could be chrysoprase
3&4 could also b chrysoprase
maybe jade
my money is on chrysoprase for the 3 green rocks
