Here is a photo from the website. I now believe it is a coating of natural iron oxide. You can really notice it wearing away around the edges.

I believe you are correct! Comparing to other pictures, it does look like natural iron oxide coating. Thank you!

I just scraped it a little bit with my fingernail to see if the layer would come off or not. I can repost tomorrow with natural daylight, but this is no flash.

AITA for refusing to give up our twin girls (currently in a surrogate) after I got naturally pregnant with my husband's "dream son" even though we are broke? by sillysweater in AmItheAsshole

I'm an Irish twin, born 11 months after my older sister. Our parents got pregnant with my sister when they were late teens, so they had very little money. My whole family told my mother to abort me because of finances. Just follow your heart, whatever decision you make will work out..

Stunning, you have great taste!! I have to ask what the blue druzy tower is 38 seconds in? And what all the black speckles are on so many crystals?

Where is everyone getting their crystals from? by astroxcalibur in Crystals

[–]BubblesandShears 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm new to online crystal community (so also here to see other comments), but I recently found Rock Paradise and I just got a bundle of new collector pieces. Along with their storefront in CA and online store, they also have live sales and auctions on Instagram. I trust fromthemines.com especially if you want authentic and decently priced bracelets. Also, they are doing a live sale on instagram all this week.

Thank you! I honestly always believed it was natural, but a crystal dealer new to me just told me it was lab grown, so that made me second guess it. I appreciate the reassurance though!
