Bought a used Refractometer online but I think the scale might be crooked

I cant test this yet as I don’t have the proper light source nor the RI fluid, it was only 140 USD so I couldn’t resist buying it in the event that maybe it won’t need much recalibration. I’m still ordering RI fluid and the light source it needs. I am very sure I’ll probably need to get this professionally fixed by experts but how risky would it be If I tried to realign it myself? Of course I will be testing it first before anything else, I’m hoping it only needs a hemicylinder polishing and maybe the reading will be okay or maybe just very slightly off.

I think this is a Blue Topaz but not sure

I bought these stud earring for $7.50 the listing says it's aquamarine but I don't think so at all because of the price. But it does have a really unique gem cut. I don’t often see honeycomb/ hexagonal cut on gems.

The person that sold it to me says it’s S925. I do see a very small marking on it, but it’s a little hard to read with the naked eye so I assume that might be the S925. Tried reverse image searching everywhere can't find anything that's exactly the same.

i mostly bought it because i like how the gem is cut.
