<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KSW, post: 3598413, member: 8708&quot;]I’m struggling a bit with ID’ing these stones so any help appreciated please <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /></p><p>Thankyou as always!</p><p><br /></p><p>1) Brown- Mary Contrary tester says Hessonite&nbsp; but I thought that was more orange/brown?. Definitely not glass. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]306830[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>2)Colourless/hint of pink. Doesn’t test as quartz . Suggests Goshenite?. Big chunk 1.5cm squareish. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]306832[/ATTACH]</p><p>Backlit, no idea if that helps!</p><p>[ATTACH=full]306833[/ATTACH] </p><p>3)Beautiful red/pink test as Ruby. Largest 1.5cm, smallest 1cm.&nbsp; Presume synthetic otherwise I’d be very rich! </p><p>Very reactive to UV, is that a synthetic characteristic?</p><p>[ATTACH=full]306834[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]306835[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>4)Blue, absolutely no idea. Mary used shotgun approach so she has no clue. Transparent when held to the light, inclusions and blue when backlit. Nearly black when not lit. About 1cm long. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]306836[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]306837[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
