It looks like it might be rose quartz, which can have purple in it.
It's hard to tell the features of the stone from that one photo.

Looks like a Chalcedony , although I'm not certain. There are a ton of vendors on Etsy but might take you a while to go through them.
Here is a link you might try to get more info from... acstones.com....Guys name is Barry, great guy, & great prices. http://www.acstones.com/productcart/...idCategory=141 Good luck...:-) Oh, for those that go to the site. There is a red menu on the left side of the page coloured in red. Look for the " Q to S " section. Click it...right on the 1st row you will see a very amusing quartz stone. LOL ** Mods, if the link is inappropriate, please remove ** |

There are so many possibilities of what that stone could be.
All of the above are possible. For sure it is a semi precious, cabochon shaped stone. It is probably not a doublet or triplet, if you can see the back of the stone is it the same color as the front? It may be unpolished in the back and have a slightly different texture. Take it to a gemologist and they should be able to identify it in person, it is much easier. The opacity, or lack thereof, fissures, play in color...dichroism are all factors that you need to see in person to help identify that stone. |
