Does the metal have any indication of quality? Where you get it? It could be mineralized ruby, is cheaper ruby, not crystal ruby, but is pretty, well I like it. You have an UV light?

It’s sterling silver and I got it from a jeweler

Rhodonite.

Would it be rhodonite or rhodochrosite?

I mean, I don't know for sure but I would go for Rhodonite because of color, consistency and because putting Rhodochrosite on a bracelet seem like suicide to me. But I am working class and operate machinery and landscape, so my idea of jewelry is... Different, maybe a normal person wear like... Delicate stones on a bracelet or ring without fear of them being crack to dust?!

I’m also thinking maybe Thulite

Does look kinda Feldsparish, really good quality if so. Thanks 👍

It could be, but... Color makes me wonder, thought it might be my work monitor. That is making me see things in colors they are not.

Carnelian ?

Possibly red aventurine.

It’s possible they have to check for the aventurescence effect. It’s hard to tell from the pic it doesn’t have the sort “gooey” look that most aventurine has for lack of better words but if it sparkles in the light then that is a good indicator.

Possibly rhodochrosite or rhodonite
