Hello, I'm new here but have been collecting all manner of natural and beautiful gems for nearly 20 years. This thread caught my eye. Tell me if you think this conch pearl would be considered red?

Raspberry? Looks red to me. Any more photos?

 

[ChuckV]

I don't have any other macro shots yet.

Here's another one. It is pretty close to red, in reality the color is somewhere between the two photos.
Every padparadsha sapphire dreams of being this color.
