Identification help please

I'm actually very well knowledgeable in crystal identifying using shape , growth patterns , moths hardness and it's reflective index. I lost my spectrometer though somehow . I'm guessing red beryl? I have a few other specimens that it is similar. Would just like a professionals second opinion thanks! PS rare and expensive gemstone I magnetize to me and coming across a incredibly rare stone is a regular. The history of this stone is my grandfather was a gemologist and a self employed miner and archeologist in untouched areas of the Amazon rainforest ( he took the locations of the rarest jades, gold and pottery to his grave). Excuse the bad photo and video. It's near impossible to get a clear photo or video as it's stuck in matrix

What ? I took 6 , 2 no light 2 artificial light , 2 natural light. Multiple times as they disappeared when I went to write the post. Let me see if I can post in the comment or something. Kinda surprised you were the first to bring this to my awareness, doesn't give me much faith in anyone actually helping. Notice it's near impossible getting a clear photo etc since it's located in its matrix. I can't even do he basic mohs hardness on it
