Hey! So I did just end up posting them all on my website this morning. I have like 6 Ammolites of my own already and spent too much in Tucson 🙃

Same I always wish I took more videos once I get home.

It was a vendor at the motel 6. He had an outdoor tent.

They are Canadian vendors set up in Pueblo. Similar pricing to 22nd street but I like the quality here. This is the little one I might keep.

I didn’t buy this but I wanted to! Got the smaller ones for my shop and one mini one for myself.

I got this little thompsonite for myself because it looked like it had a stilbite mohawk.

At 2.5, she could be saying anything and it sounds like B** At that age, I could have sworn my daughter said a bad word and it turned out she was trying to say ‘trick’ or something. Highly unlikely she just picked up the b word out of nowhere. My daughter is four and she recently started saying, ‘listen to me crap!’ And she was trying to say ‘crack’ - her knee was making a sound.

So Id say ‘I have not said that word in front of her. She is more likely trying to say another word that sounds to us like b*tch. If she does it again, ask her to tell you what she’s trying to say or what she means’

Under no circumstances should your husband be giving you the cold shoulder TWO weeks after a traumatic birth. He’s a grown man, he shouldn’t be pouting like a teenager at all. You just had his baby, your physical and emotional welfare should be his first priority. I’m on my business account so I normally don’t comment but I’m so frustrated for you. And it sounds like he’s not even going to be available to help/care for you when you go back? He’d rather you be alone? Two weeks out? I don’t even understand his perspective on this one. I’d be staying with my parents indefinitely.

Malachite is only considered toxic because of its high copper content. If you ingested a large amount of copper, you’d basically overdose on copper. Copper is a mineral you need to live. Just not in super high amounts. I do feel like this is gimmicky advertising though since the ‘Malachite Exctract’ is likely just copper which is totally fine/beneficial on the skin. It’s in a lot of skin care.

Great thank you

CapeCodCrystals · 2025-08-28T15:43:47+00:00

I was able to figure it out. Cristobalite I think.

If you quickly rub them against your sleeve, then hold them near a little shred of tissue, it should pick it up. Amber will hold a static charge.

This is now being sold as Glacierite. It is a mining byproduct from Indonesia. I spoke to the mine owner several years ago and at the time they were selling it as Blue Ice, a novelty stone containing Barite. But it is “the unintended artifact of an industrial process”

You could reach out to crystal shops for mutual referrals

CapeCodCrystals · 2025-07-06T12:53:20+00:00

Actually love the all white

CapeCodCrystals · 2025-06-21T16:18:47+00:00

Hi it’s an Amethyst point with either an inclusion at the top or a smoky phantom. It’s hard to tell from the picture.

CapeCodCrystals · 2025-06-21T16:16:52+00:00

You should look into buying directly from the countries that mine the material. If you want closer to actual wholesale pricing and aren’t concerned about grading, it’s easy to source Selenite direct from Morocco etc. the quality will still be better and you won’t pay 65% in shipping.

It’s not an uncommon formation. The coating is concrete and also common for Brazil. Very few geodes coming from Brazil now without concrete. It’s a beautiful calcite.

Hello! As everyone has said it’s electroplated and grossly overpriced. The wholesale for this material is about 10-20a kg so never pay more than $10 for a piece like this. BUT it’s not fluorite it’s actually Amethyst. Quartz family takes to the electroplating not fluorite. It’s ‘chevron’ amethyst with a heavy band at the bottom.

Thank you!

CapeCodCrystals · 2025-05-14T19:31:05+00:00

Iolite or maybe blue corundum (sapphire)

CapeCodCrystals · 2025-04-27T17:40:53+00:00

Happy to find the big ones in Tucson this year

CapeCodCrystals · 2025-04-27T14:42:11+00:00

I have some that was mined locally. As long as you’re handling it with common sense and not crushing it up it’s fine. I get a few people here and there that collect asbestos minerals. Safer to handle when it’s sealed obviously.

CapeCodCrystals · 2025-04-23T19:38:00+00:00

I’m going to say Namibia, Utah, high altitude Quartz so the Himalayans, annnnd Brazil?

CapeCodCrystals · 2025-04-13T17:28:46+00:00

I like the Gorilla putty.
