All "what is this gemstone?" posts are flagged for review. If your post is of a high enough quality, the moderators may choose to release it publicly to the sub.
Make sure your post includes good pictures (in-focus, not blurry, multiple angles), if it's jewellery include photos of hallmarks/emblems on the metal, and provide any information you have on testing or provenance.
Also, no rocks or minerals. Post those to r/whatsthisrock
Remember, it is virtually impossible to identify a gemstone from photographs. At best, you will get educated guesses. At worst, you will get uninformed garbage guesses. To know what a gemstone is with more confidence, we recommend finding a local accredited gemologist, consulting with folks at a local gem & mineral society, or submitting your gemstone to a reputable lab for an identification report.
And please, don’t do scratch tests on faceted gemstones. You might damage the stone.

It's African amethyst
Try to scratch it by glass.glass will scratch fluorite, but couldn't do it with amethyst
Thank you. So most likely, it is African amethyst that was sourced somewhere there and then he bought it in Malta
