Help identifying stone in Rosada pendant.

I know I have seen this type of stone before but can't find it searching.  Could you tell me what the name for it is?  Thanks a lot!

If you look at the stone from the side is it clear?  I have quite a few of these glass stones that have a backing on them that creates the rainbow effect.  I'm not sure there's a name for them.  Perhapes someone else here will know.

Agree - many "mystic topaz" are also just a piece of glass with either a rainbow foil back or a thin coat of clear irridescent glaze.  A real mystic topaz is a white or blue that has sat in a gas chamber that causes the surface to irridesce.  It takes some serious time, energy, and chemicals so pricey.  They arent natural.

Thank you both.  It has an open back and there is a silvery white coating there.

The colors on this seem to arc out all around the center.  They are not blended.

Lovely colors!  But don`t know what the cab would be called

The style reminds me of West Germany pendant necklaces..but I wouldn`t think they would have the 'silver' backing on any cabachon. Is it marked?

The chain says Rosada.

Look up heliotrope rhinestone and see if that matches your stone.

Ms. Sandy ~ You hit it!  Yeah!  It looks like the one in the top right.

Great.  Glad to help.  Pretty piece by the way.  Good to see you.  Hope to see you more often.
