That is all I could find. It is quite possible that it is two stones fused as one.

Answer 2

Not a clue as to what you are asking by your description. Why don't you go to a jewelry store & ask a jeweler what the stone is. In my town they have a charitable appraisal of your valuables once per year & I had a 14 kt gold ring with a red stone -- a jeweler in the jewelry store where I bring stuff for repairs said it was from the 1920s or 1930s - was 14 kt gold but it was a man-made ruby. I was surprised by that because I asked why they'd put a fake stone in a good ring & he said it was very popular in those times? Then I brought it to an appraiser at the charity function & he said it was a genuine ruby . It's small so not worth a lot but it means more now because it was passed on down through the family. I guess this means you should get a 3rd opinion to be sure.

Answer 3

It could be any number of stones. It's most likely ametrine, as that is the most common stone found with the purple and yellow color combination. It's a natural color in nature, it's not fake.
If this is what your stone looks like, then it's ametrine.

Answer 4

the purple gemstone is probably amethyst which means without drunkenness in Greek...the yellow gemstone is probably citrine..both gemstones are in the quartz family...and Brazil is the country that does the lions share of exportation..amethyst has religious associations and is considered a spiritual stone in many cultures..it is sometimes called the bishops stone...there is also a Greek legend and or myth that the God Bacchus became angry at a maiden..turned her to stone..felt great remorse and as a libation poured his wine on the stone turning it to its violet color...

Answer 5

That's what is known as a cirtine/amethyst combination. Amethyst is purple and the part of the amethyst that becomes irradiated becomes citrine. Sounds like a pretty ring.

Answer 6
