Scratching with Mohs 9 just leaving trace on the rock from the tool but the green one has no scratches on it
Which makes me think two options left , Diamond or Sapphire

Do not have sapphire here , not sure 9 can scratch it ?

I re-tested it this time very carefully under 10x loupe with Mohs' Test Kit ,but it cannot be scratched even with 9

I found it in Alberta
Mohs 7 can't scratch it but 8 does , not transparent , looks dark green to me
The fossil or (rock not sure what the wrap around it is but it is too hard ) Mohs 8
Im trying to remove it from the wrap with my Dremel rotary tool but it looks like it will take forever , no rush do not want to brake it
I will add more day time taking pictured tomorrow
ID Help Please / Mohs 7.5-8 / Dark Green / Not Transparent / Emerald /spinel Or Something Else ?
