[QUOTE="Mungoman, post: 425115, member: 2730"] Thanks for the quick reply Goldierocks. As you've guessed, I don't have access to the stone to do a SG test (a marvellous form of ID), but I was hoping that the stone could be ID'd to a certain degree by the crystalline form. The bulk of it seems to be four sided, and the miniature crystal just above the '7' in the tag resembles a pyramid with 4 sides. As quartz generally has 6 faces to a gem crystal, I wondered if I could get it narrowed down by it's colour and it's crystalline form. Thanking you, Jon. [/QUOTE]
