can anyone identify this half pink half clear gemstone from CQLD???

[billwilde]

Hi all,I'm new here so i hope this is ok. Can anyone give me an idea what I have here? Half pink and half clear gemstone from CQLD gemfields. I cant find any info or similar stones on the internet only that it might be called a bi-colored gemstone (from a bi-colored tourmaline) and I'm kinda hoping it might be rarer than your average sapphire... hopefully Any ideas would be appreciated. Thx

Looks maybe like Ametrine to me, half pink sort of half yellowish maybe??

Probably a topaz , specific gravity test will let you know , around 3.50 .if not a nice sapphire , not sure they get much topaz there but looks sorta like one , depending where you got it , hard to tell from photo .

Hi Bill.

You can't really tell anything definitively from a photo but my guess is probably a zircon. I have found a few out there with that pinkish-orange on one end, fading to near colourless at the other, usually the colourless end is thinner. If not, probably a sapphire, though it does look a tad unusual. How big is it? If it's big enough to facet, I'd probably get it tested.

A pic on a white background would give a more accurate display of colour.
