I had thought about reaching out...i will now! Thought it also may be Kunzite...Ty...

There's no way to know from a picture really. My first thought about the larger stone was "French Amethyst" or pale lilac amethyst. It looks too purple for morganite from here. The pale stones were popular in the Victorian era. It could be kunzite too, so ... dunno. A gem tester may be able to tell the difference; kunzite is a 6.5-7 on the mohs scale; amethyst is a quartz and comes in about 7.5.

Congratulations!!!!

Ty! I recieved a reply within 6 hours..he verified tentatively without examining..then i took it to a jeweler and he weighed and measured stone..it still seems smaller than what I would imagine a 20k stone to be...i am going to get a second opinion.. now I know what kunzite is and also what's Spodumene is lol..i guess thats what gives it the pale lavender hue.. it's a really cool Stone there's like 4 different colors in it when you turn it and apparently you can't wear the stone during the day or it'll fade the stone it's called a night gem I just love learning new things!!

So on a hunch I went back to the same store where I got the pendant because I remember there being other big sparkly gems that I usually just walk right past and lo and behold I found another Laura Ramsey piece!!

Could please tell the name and address of the store so that I can plan my summer vacation.
All kidding aside, you really lucked up. Beautiful!

Hoily carp!!! Nice finds! 🙂
The Ramsey Gems website is very interesting. Your first ring made me curious so I checked it out.
I, too, need that address 😉
