Never try to guess what a gemstone might be by just looking at it. That's what I was told by a friend gemologist.

Or it could be quartz crystal dyed to imitate any of the above. It depends on where it came from.

Grandiderite.

It is Grandiderite.  I just heard about this stone literally yesterday.  I was looking up jewelry on another website as some were talking about Chuch Clemency.  The hoop earrings I posted are this stone.  I went looking for more info and voila.  Maybe the Q will get some in.  

 

It's a beautiful stone.  I don't know that much more about it other than they have found it on other places aside from where it was originally found.  Thanks for participating @RoughDraft !
