Please could someone help me ID these please - thank you. I have 5 of these tiny deep pink-red wine coloured crystals, all of which are appear to be rombinen or trigoninen in shape, I can see the sides under a x8 hand lens on all of them. The bigest does not appear to be as clear colour as others - they appear more transparent even though very small. I tried scratching it with penknife - nothing! They were found in an area Haukipudas, North west Finland. Any ideas please? Many thanks for your help.
