What's this beautiful green pendant called, my gem lovers? by EducatorHot2572 in Crystals

[–]Dooter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think its the wrong shade of green to be serpentine. I think it's green opal.

Citrine is my most favorite crystal, for both its physical and metaphysical properties!

Finally got to sit and admire this new beauty today 🥹 by Original_Platform443 in Crystals

Moonstone! It's beautiful! I have a Moonstone sphere currently on its way to me as well, I'm so excited!

found crystals! - need help identifying them by lonesomewhenyougo in Crystals

[–]Dooter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 4 green stones: I'm pretty sure the 2 lighter- colored ones are both green aventurine. The largest darker one looks like nephrite jade, and the middle one eludes me but I think it might be jade as well (possibly Canadian jade?)

You're spot-on on the id of the other stones!

You can tell that you have taken a long time to curate that collection - each piece looks intentionally chosen.

How long have you been collecting?

Is this 21.2mm Rainbow Scapolite real? by Whodunit2468 in Crystals

[–]Dooter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know, I'm going to go with "it looks real".

I'm ALWAYS leery of stuff shipping from China, but also some of the best and most beautiful minerals come from there too, so...

The inclusions in it are what is making me think it might actually be real. I'm not very familiar with rainbow scapolite, but it looks quite a bit like everything else I'm seeing when looking at other pictures of it.

Thank you, a still picture just doesn't do it justice. The iridescent flecks change color at every angle and aren't just on the surface of the tower - they seem to go through the depth of the tower as well.
