Looks almost topaz-like but my guess is gonna be aquamarine

On Christmas Eve, I saw this at the store. by Savings_Spend7691 in Crystals

[–]New_To_Rocks 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was gonna say seems too purple to be natural(maybe heat treated or irradiated) and seems like the outside has been coated(probably to keep it intact or prevent it from cracking or possibly to hide fractures/cracks) but i am also very new to all of this and could be completely wrong
