Hi

Gorgeous morning to be at the beach; I opened up the place at 8AM and had the beach all to myself..quiet, reflective time.

Hunted out at low tide line with not much to show for that area, so after 2 hrs., I moseyed on over to the shoreline area where there were plenty of troughs that looked promising.


Parallel to one of the troughs was a narrow rivulet that I just had to hunt; it looked so good.

That's where I heard that nice low "growl" and I knew what it was; about 5" down .

It's not a "Biggy"... only weighs 1.60 grams/ 14K , but I'll take it after the drought that I 've been experiencing lately.

Stone is a lilac color..don't know what type of stone it is.

Here's a couple of pics

As always, thank you for looking at my finds

Thanks for that link, Chug and Red;

Viewing that chart, I think it must be either Amethyst, or as Penzfan suggested Tanzanite.
