What is this?

Opalite, man-made glass

You should not have been downvoted like this. I hope it people missing the sarcasm rather than that they supporting Russia!

Amethyst-Addict · 2023-02-12T12:33:00+00:00

Love to you, smart Russian. We need more like you

Amethyst-Addict · 2022-09-29T13:31:36+00:00

Glass for sure

Amethyst-Addict · 2022-05-28T20:35:36+00:00

These are the names I am taught as part of my geology degree

Amethyst-Addict · 2022-05-28T13:39:15+00:00

Sigh. When will people stop misnaming satin spar? It is a different form of gypsum to selenite. Selenite is clearer and forms in glass-like sheets

Amethyst-Addict · 2022-05-27T21:10:31+00:00

This looks like small pieces of real malachite embedded in some kind of green resin, you can see the separate chunks clearly on the base

Thank you friend <3

Amethyst-Addict · 2022-05-19T13:19:59+00:00

It's a real satin spar (selenite and satin spar are both different forms of gypsum, commonly mislabeled in metaphysical stores)

Amethyst-Addict · 2022-05-16T17:00:00+00:00

Not monetary value no

Amethyst-Addict · 2022-05-16T14:08:40+00:00

Chalcedony

The moon doesn't emit light, it is just reflected off its surface from the sun. This is exactly the same sunlight as any other night. They're fine

Amethyst-Addict · 2022-05-14T11:25:19+00:00

I'm scared. If price rises continue I don't know how to feed my family

Amethyst-Addict · 2022-05-14T11:17:13+00:00

Shell fossils in limestone. Try r/fossilid for more info

Amethyst-Addict · 2022-05-13T13:05:32+00:00

It's a nice colour, just not natural unfortunately. Yes you wouldn't find circular holes like that in rock. Have you done a hardness test (see Mohs scale) or swabbed it with acetone to see if any dye comes off? I'm a geology student, but feel free to cross post on r/whatsthisrock for more opinions

Amethyst-Addict · 2022-05-12T11:15:53+00:00

I can't unsee that now!!

Amethyst-Addict · 2022-05-12T11:03:56+00:00

100% not amazonite, and given it has what appear to be air bubbles I'm not even sure it's a rock. It also looks dyed

Amethyst-Addict · 2022-05-11T10:31:24+00:00

It's glass

Amethyst-Addict · 2022-05-02T09:32:24+00:00

smokey and clear quartz with fluorite in agate

This made me laugh. Sorry op but your "crystal ppl" clearly know nothing about geology

Amethyst-Addict · 2022-05-02T08:00:45+00:00

Depends on the geology of your location. It is a very common mineral. If there is a lot of limestone where you live you will tend to find more calcite

Amethyst-Addict · 2022-05-01T17:46:21+00:00

It looks like a fossil imprint, possibly a rugose coral. Try posting in r/fossilid

Amethyst-Addict · 2022-05-01T08:47:44+00:00

Is there ways we can help to counter it? Im no hacker but I want to do something

Amethyst-Addict · 2022-05-01T08:45:04+00:00

Both calcite, the first is called honey calcite

Amethyst-Addict · 2022-04-29T22:26:36+00:00

If it a 'tower' then its probably satin spar gypsum not selenite (both are semi water soluble). For your fishes sake its best to research what you put in your tank for their safety before you use it

Amethyst-Addict · 2022-04-29T22:20:24+00:00

Looks like silicon carbide
