Help Identifying a Stone?
« on: November 13, 2015, 12:45:07 am »
I bought some gemstones today, but I forgot what one I bought was and can't seem to find out what it is. I bought it because it was supposed to help with balancing mood. Here is a picture. It's more purple that the picture shows.

Based on the pic, I'd guess it's rhodonite, but, if it's really purple, rather than pink, it's more likely purpurite.  

Charoite is also a possibility, and could also be a jasper, but I'd lean more toward purpurite.

You could google those and see which images are closest.

Rhodonite was my first thought as well based on the look of it and it can be used for mood balancing.

I third the Rhodonite.
Because of the color of the matrix stone it's in and because I've got a similar one. ;)
