    I thought this was amethyst but under a UV it yellow, not the same as my other pieces. Any ideas on what it is?

      Is there any bubbles when looking through high magnifier? Could be paste/glass?

      No , I have tried a 10x loupe and they don't appear to be glass.

      Beautiful stones. My guess would be Purple Scapolite or Purple Fluorite (more likely the fluorite if it appears yellow under light) but I'm no expert for sure.

      This site may help.

      Thanks I will take a look, it seems to be a lot harder than the green fluorite I think I have.
