What to do with "gem stones"?

[stella polaris]

Got a part of a 925 silver chain packed with tiny "gem stones" ala Briliants or what they now a called.
I think they are fake or less valuable due to silver chain . But apart from that. What do you guys do when such contamination? Remove them or just down in the feedstock?

Let them come out when the silver is dissolved and put them in the tank as fish gravel .

Thanks.
Should make a good sanding paper if not fake. Just to test it on some armour steel and you know if fake or not.

Don’t believe that only diamonds cut glass, many stones will :shock:

Yes, but a "brilliant" sanding paper cut stones. :mrgreen:

Are there any easy way to tell whats fake or not on those tiny stones? If i find some Garnet i will see if they cut it. It would be a epic sanding paper if real ones.
