Kunzite (although I never see them that peachy pink) or some sort of spodumene. |

#3) Could also be Hyacinth zircon, but I can't see the double refraction. |

Zircon-good guesses, but it is something else. High RI Moderate hardness color can vary SR Coati, G.G. |

Well, it looks like a diamond in that shot. If so, you're pretty lucky!! oh, but it has moderate hardness, forget that. Some kind of grossular garnet? |

It's a garnet but not grossular. Want the answer?
