Likely rose quartz in a dark matrix
Quartz, SiO₂; the host rock cannot be identified from this photo
Likely dyed or painted stone
Unidentified natural rock; vivid purple, orange, and pink coloration appears to be a surface coating or pigment, so the underlying rock cannot be reliably identified from the image.
Diamond
