PRETTY ROCK

[cherylkermmoade]

I have a rock that I got from an estate sale. There was no information about it available. I have done the acid test and it does not fizz; you can not scratch with a nail and it does scratch glass. I would appreciate any information you may be able to give.

I'm not sure what it is but I sure like it! It might be tourmaline crystals. Please post this in the Rocks and Gems forums. You will get more and better answers there. Click back to "forums" and then scroll way down.

I believe it is BERYL in its matrix, the yellowish green beryl is known as heliodor.

Could be beryl or tourmaline and possibly epidote. What ever it is, it's a nice specimen
