I agree, I think it's a pink sapphire. The more I view this piece, the more I love it.

: I don't feel this is an amethyst because
: I've
: never seen it worn on mauve or purple

: I think it looks like an amethyst.

: The Queen has worn this small brooch several
: times, but not often. I seem to recall the
: first time I noticed this brooch was on a
: very flowery lapel in late 2005 - though I
: am unable to find this picture again. I
: remember thinking it could have been from
: the late Queen Mother, as I had not
: previously seen this brooch.

: I haven't found any information on this one
: at all. I don't mean that it was from Prince
: Albert at all - just that it reminds me of
: the style of the well known sapphire Albert
: brooch. I am not sure of what the stone is
: - it could well be 1) a pink sapphire 2) a
: pink spinel or 3) a pale ruby - or something
: else entirely.
: I do like it as I find it simple and very
: pretty. I wish we could see it more often
: but I'm very happy that it is featured on
: this book cover!
:
: I'd love to learn more about it if anyone
: has any information at all....

: Thank you Tamara! A simple, classical and
: beautiful brooch I would say.
:
: But now I am confused... what stone is it in
: the center??
: Gillw says its a ruby (a rubi from Ps
: Albert?), I find it too pink to be a
: "royal" rubi or an amethyst...
:
: This brooch is puzzling me even more now.
: Provenance and info please?

: Can someone tell me please what brooch is HM

:
: It seems like an amethyst brooch, rounder
: and smaller than Prince Albert saphire
: brooch, although of a similar design. I have
: no information on this brooch in my
: archives, and would appreciate any
: information on its provenance.
