Hi :) i am Norwegian so my english may not be the best, but i need to find out what this pink stone is, so i have taken some pictures that i hope will guide you to help me. I have some guess myself about pink peruvian opal, rhodocrosite, rhodonite, thulite ... anyone recognise this one? They have faceted the stone too .. some more pictures to be found in the commentfield ...

Best reg. Victoria

Doesn't look like platinum to me, perhaps French silver which is 950.....not 925.
Pink stones? Rhodonite was my first guess, but the texture looks wrong.
I'll let someone else give that a go.

Maybe pink opal, based on translucency? Unfortunately we really can'/ tell from a photo.

I first thought rhodonite also, but more pink than red. but the other possibility is selected small pieces of rhodocrosite.

Yeah, the 3d dendrites, striping and tramslucency look much like peruvian pink opal. But like, that's just my opinion.

Peruvian Opal was my first guess too :D . But i did not understand why they put that sort of stone into what i thought was Platinum and had to find a second (third) opinion. Thank you :) !!
