[QUOTE="mbasko, post: 671050, member: 4485"] Likely rules out ruby, although one lit up. Some zircons can flouresce too I believe. Sapphires generally won't flouresce due to their iron content but some low iron ones will. Sorry if I've confused you but I was more thinking of the UV "test" for the pink stones, not the others, as they looked similar to other rubies I'd seen from NSW. To identify them all now, the best bet is to follow as much of the Gemstone ID tests as possible here: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/threads/%E2%9C%85-gemstone-and-mineral-identification-how-to-including-series-on-identifying-minerals-goldierocks.17698/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
