A stone this color could be a Spinel, a yellow saphire, or also possibly citrine, which is a variety of yellow quartz.
The best thing you could do for yourself, if you collect these types of stones, would be to buy yourself a gem tester. Without it, you will likely not know what many of your stones actually are. Identifying the majority of gemstones based on color is extremely difficult, if not impossible, especially if looking at images of them.
I meant yellow sapphire.....
Thanks welz I am going to buy a gemstone tester as it’s not possible to identify stones by pictures but it helps when collectors have a idea what a stone could be as i then can conduct home tests so if I get round to taking them somewhere I at least have some idea.
Ie when a stone passes fog test, I think they might have a chance of being real, I think all the ones posted have at least passed, that test
