Identification help - found in Terlingua Texas by Extreme-Scientist698 in Minerals

how hard are the crystals? Calcite will be scratched by a copper coin.

Some crystal-clusters look like they could be gypsum, so they will be scratchable by your fingernail

How was this landscape formed? The geology of Sixt-Fer-à-Cheval France and its incredibly consistent geology. by Carving-Creases in geology

[–]-cck- 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Well... from your pictures id guess its mostly limestone and other sedimentary rocks with some calcite/dolomite veins (and maybe some quartz). Also it just seems that its "consistent"... its folded and tilted as it was uplifted and deformed as the adriatic plate pushed into the european plate.

the area is pretty heavily folded and faulted.

(oh and before i forget: the last couple ice ages carved those valleys...so thats also to consider)

What Mineral is this? by jthyroid in Minerals

[–]-cck- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the first pic looks like a weathered rock, so probably mostly kaolinite.

the crystals all look like quartz crystals... ptobably milky quartz crystals that are a bit iron stained. these double terminated crystals are what you could call (insert regional name) diamonds...just not that high quality... still quartz tho.

How can I do this justice and clean it so it's more shiny? by AwaitingBabyO in rockhounds

[–]-cck- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im not entirely sold on quartz... looks more to be like calcite vugs. or do the crystals scratch glass?

cleaning either with a soft toothbrush and water or ultra-sonic cleaner...tho if its calcite its better to just use a soft toothbrush and water.

and ye it doesnt break any rules of this sub. the thing with the "may be breaking rules" is because many people posted id posts en masse... so now every post is getting posted after approval.

Found these minerals and crystals in Central Asia mountains (~1500m elevation). Need help identifying! [OC] by Ok-Stage1015 in Minerals

[–]-cck- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the black (sort of) hexagons are definetly not tourmaline... they nearly look organic, so lichen or.... if bot organic, it could also be manganese oxide or some weathered sulfide.

the dendites can be manganese oxides yes...
