Alrighty folks, we're in for a treat today, as this specimen features two intriguing gemstones that demand our attention! So we are going for a Back-To-Back of "Do you know your minerals?"
So let's start with the first identification round with this image showing the following.
We've got a rock with a pink to red-brown color with the hardness to withstand scratches; however, when you change the view and angle of the stone, the color seems to shift ever so slightly. Its luster is semi-vibrant and does remind one of the kyanite gemstone. The formation of this specimen resembles that of a rough topaz.
Any Guesses?
