Hi all,
I have a specimen of Kyanite here with what looks like peach coloured quartz, or is it something else!?

Amanda,
These kyanite and quartz combinations are commonly have iron oxides in the porous cracks. If mined commercially, like those from Brazil, they are cleaned with chemicals. If they do not clean them long enough some of the iron remains and can be seen underneath. This appears to be the situation here.
