So I injured my hand and can't cut for a few days, so I thought I'd share some images of more esoteric gemstones to challenge those following to identify the rough. (Yes I know what it is...)
So what's your guess?

Reminds me of topaz.

Color is similar to imperial, but the natural structure and cleavage planes are not.

I am bamboozled. Tourmaline?
(Hope your hand gets better soon!)

Tourmaline is close given the shape of the crystal.
