I got a specific gravity of 2.543 on my pale pink crystal. Anyone? My list says maybe tourmaline.

Definitely too low for any variation of Tourmaline. I'm leaning towards Rose Quartz. Quartz varieties will often show up in the 2.52-2.60 on a 1/10th gram scale. How much did it weigh dry? -Luke

I thought quartz was up around 3? However, I will say I don't think it's tourmaline. I was weighing with carat should I be using grams? Weighs 6.15 carats.

Quartz is right around 2.65. However, on a specimen this small; any variance is too much variance. I've never done it with carat weight, but it must be working.
