[QUOTE="Heatho, post: 204169, member: 487"] The Reason I think it's a Sapph is 1: Because of the type of Yellow it is, looks very Sapphireish, Sapphire crystal structure is generally considered to be Hexagonal. 2: It's very clear by the look of it. 3: Can see a bit of a rough Hexagonal shape to it in the bottom pic I was think maybe Citrine but I'm pretty sure it's a Sapph, I've head of nice yellow ones in the area. I could be wrong as it's hard to tell from pics. Could be right there too Richo, it does change a bit with the angle. Sapphires are Dicroic, each axis generally looks a different shade of colour, or different colour as in say one axis will be green and the other blue. Or one axis light blue amnd the other axis a darker blue. [/QUOTE]
