Physical properties

Formation & geological history

If tourmaline, it crystallized in lithium-rich granitic pegmatites; such deposits range from Precambrian to recent geological settings. The pictured stone has been cut and polished.

Uses & applications

Faceted stones may be used in jewelry or collected; identification and quality assessment require testing and inspection.

Geological facts

Pink faceted gems can also be sapphire, spinel, garnet, or glass, among other materials; visual identification from this image is inconclusive.

Field identification & locations

A gemologist can distinguish candidates using magnification, refractive index, and specific gravity. The photo provides no reliable locality or field-identification clues.
