Kewl Ring! Obviously a lapidary stone and not a cut stone. I would have guessed tourquoise except for the translucent qualities, possibly a lapi luza but usually they are darker. Very Nice Find.

Very cool old ring!!! A couple thoughts on the stone: My first guess is chrysoprase, a green form of agate, although the intensity of green also suggests a cabochon cut beryl. There are several other possibilities as well. I would take it to a local jeweler to have it tested. A simple refractive index test would probably identify it.
