    Gemstone Identification

    Yeah my girlfriend likes to keep a few rose quarts to add to her collection, i found them at a local spot on the south coast nsw. The blues are transparent, the larger one has a tinge of green thru it. There are alot of different color ranges and all come from the same 3 small holes.
