Found this one yesterday while metal detecting. I started my Stone and minerals collection few months ago and still struggling to identify. Searched on Google and it says and looks like an amethyst but need opinions and answers. Much appreciated!

Hi chi3llo
From the look and color of this I believe it is a Rose AmeThyst or Pink Quartz.

Nice example of a vein with some host attached. Are all 3 pieces from the same sample? The one on the right seems to have some possible mineralization specs. Does that LED AAA light switch help with the photo not getting glare? I never thought of that.

Hope this one helps more. No, the one on the right is a different one, the 2 on the left is the same one, the white half of the stone was completely clear, but I had a random thought of setting it on fire with a torch, it cracked and it became whiter.
