      why not amethyst?
    2. Steptoe1 Steptoe1, 5 years ago
      Thanks truth could be amethyst but I have always seen amethyst a darker purple, but have read they come in many shades, not enough experience to tell tho

      Youre welcome, you know I am a bookworm, and when I started being interested in semi precious stones for jewelry making about 12 years ago, I found out that citrine and amethyst stones are from the same quartz family, some are very pale, and both of them can be heated to change their color to a darker purple or orange color.
      Just to make things more complicated....lol.

      Thanks truth my interest in stones has grown since I bought a collection and started cleaning them, now I am trying to learn as much as I can

      It is also quite possible that this could be a Spinel. I gave my wife a gorgeous ring from an estate that has a large stone similar to this color (always hard to tell from pics) and it tested as a Spinel.

      Spinels come in a range of colors to include deep red, blue, yellow, orange, pink, violet and purple. Deep red Spinels are often misrepresented as Rubies.

      Amethyst maybe? Very nice and bright little stone actually

      This link will show images of Spinels in a wide range of colors.
