Help identifying a stone...

[heyheylove87]

Hi there! I''ve been trying to identify the stones in this bracelet my dad got me today... He bought it from someone at church and all she said was that it could be from siberia, and the person that sold it to her said it had silver in it naturally, which you can see in the second pic. I''d greatly appreciate any ideas as to what this is!

(I hope these pictures work, I''ve never posted here)





Thanks again!

my guess is a gold speck lapis lazuli cabochon.

Purple Lapis? Never see that before.

It could be kyanite as it is a deep blue colour, seems to fit the location and the inclusion it shows.

Kyanite? I''m not so sure. It looks too zoned (and actually lined with colours) to be Kyanite.

It could be Sodalite (the one that I think it most closely represents), Aventurine, Apatite (some come in this very dark blue), a silicate, a quartz, in fact it could be a number of gemstones.

Whatever it is, it''s a pretty bracelet - enjoy wearing it!
