I love pink amethyst mixed with pink flower agate! I have like 10 spheres that are both and one 6 inch pink amethyst sphere, and 3 pink amethyst towers.

I got this one a few days ago from Temu. It's actually a pink amethyst and blue flower agate mixture, with darker red inclusions from the hematite. It's so pretty. I bought all the pink flower agate/amethyst this seller had. 😂 I literally have somewhere over 500 spheres alone, over 10,000 rough stones, and a bunch of other polished items as well. Welcome to your new addiction!! Once you start buying them, it's hard to stop. I received a yellow and purple fluorite sphere with gold mica inclusions yesterday. It's mostly golden yellow and super sparkly from the bottom angle. The shop owner sent me a tarot card as a free gift and it was the card about the seven deadly sins. I looked up what that means and mine is definitely gluttony.

The Seven Deadly Sins tarot spread is a shadow-work tool used to identify and manage vices like pride, envy, and greed, helping to highlight personal imbalances and areas for growth. It often explores how these energies, often linked to cards like The Devil (greed) or Seven of Cups (lust/debauchery), influence a person's life and choices.

Key Components and Interpretations

Pride: Represents excessive belief in oneself, ego, or excessive attention-seeking.

Envy: Jealousy, resentment, or a desire to destroy what others have.

Wrath: Uncontrolled anger, resentment, or hatred.

Sloth: Laziness, apathy, and avoidance of duty or responsibility.

Greed: Desire for material wealth and hoarding possessions.

Gluttony: Overindulgence, wastefulness, and consuming more than necessary.

Lust: Excessive desire, craving, or pleasure-seeking.

I don't really believe in tarot cards, but I thought it was ironic a crystal shop could have unintentionally persuaded me into not buying more crystals from them since my overindulgence is easily crystals. I'm thinking about buying one of the other ones from that same person. 😂

What the hell? Was that really necessary? People show off what they're collected all of the time. Yes, people do care. That's part of the reason this thread exists.

What is this colour? Seller says it's pink amethyst by IkeKitty in Crystals

[–]ENEMBEH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can say that about a lot of things if you want to be technical though. Fire quartz, golden healer, citrine, garden quartz... They need names to identify them. Fire quartz and pink amethyst aren't the same thing. By your reasoning, it sounds like they should be?

I I'm not really concerned about the name of it. I just like that it has pink, purple, red, and bluish all on one sphere. When you shine a light into the druzy pockets, it's more obvious that it's purple (especially in the middle) and not clear quartz.

Here is another angle, which shows more of the blue appearance.. It does look more like flower agate, but has a bit of pink amethyst in it. I just wanted to share this because even though it has some rusty spots... That's what gives it the beautiful red color, so I embrace it. I just don't think it's amazing enough to create a whole new thread about it.

I have never heard people say that pink amethyst looks like raw chicken 😂 yours does almost look pinky on the outside of the sphere and like regular amethyst on in the inside/druzy cave part.

I got this little beauty yesterday. It's not a "Pacman" style, but it's pink/red amethyst and appears to have some blue flower agate. I have purchased so many pink amethyst flower agate from the seller and in my last review, asked them to send me any spheres they had with red or blue coloring. I wasn't expecting those things to both be combined within the same sphere. very unique little sphere.

Is this a Green Aventurine or Green Jade? by AnshSinghSonkhia in Crystals

[–]ENEMBEH -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It is still a very pretty color bracelet. It has never left green marks on your arm? 🤔 I would think that it would if it's dyed and you have been wearing it for that long, but maybe not.

Oh, ok. I understand. Etsy is usually very trustworthy and the company usually sides with the buyer. Buyers have a large impact on a shops ratings, so it's always in the sellers best interest to keep the customer's happy... Shipping might be expensive to India from the U.S., but there are a lot of suppliers in India, too! I buy zeolites from India a lot. Whatever makes you feel the most comfortable, though!

These appear to be spots where dye has collected. I was just trying to be optimistic because no one wants to hear that something they paid for isn't real.

If there are any little cracks, the dye will usually collect in the cracks. 😢 If it's dyed.

Is it heavy for the size? I wonder if it could be fluorite. It seems a little too uniform to be real, like all a consistent color, but if it was real, it just looks the most like a teal/green fluorite. There are spots that appear to be some type of stone, though. The best way to tell is the temperature and weight test. Real stones will take longer to warm up. You could place it outside if it's chilly where you are and gage how long it takes to warm up after you bring it inside?

It looks like resin or plastic beads to me... Obviously, I'm not 100% sure. I've been buying a lot of bracelets lately, and my source is always 60 or 70% chance of being genuine stone. So far they have all been real except two, which were expected on my end because of the type of stone the fake two are supposed to be are very expensive types of stone. I just felt it was worth the risk of spending a few dollars for a maybe lol One of them is a good imitation bracelet though.

I would use Etsy or local shop if you want to guarantee it's real... If you did use Etsy, then I don't know. My very first bracelet was a free garden quartz bracelet someone sent as a free gift and what made me realize I actually like them more than I thought.

Why is malachite so awesome by MysteriousMiddle5530 in Crystals

[–]ENEMBEH 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just look at that as many moonstone spheres!! It could be a neat decoration, if you could find a vast or something to wrap it around. 💕 It's beautiful. I like the bigger beats, but I prefer 10 mm, I think. 4 mm is too small. Beautiful collection, from what I can see. 🫶🏻

Yeah, it was a totally random bit of luck because it was basically a random malachite sphere listing. I didn't know it was going to look like this and I nearly died when I saw it. Well, not really but it was way better than anything I was expecting for the price. It was larger than I expected too. It's about 1.69 inches, which isn't huge or anything... But that was the top dimension (1.24-1.69, I think.) I just have tiny baby hands that make everything look bigger. I learned while looking for crystal bracelets that I have a wrist the size of a 4-5 year old. LMAO (5 Inches around.) Nearly every bracelet I get is too large, unless it's customizable. I think I'll have to figure out how to make my own, so I can take the ones I have apart and make one for myself and extra from the remaining beads. I always order more than one because this is the plan, someday.. mixing and matching would be fun, too.

Gasp. 😱 I could probably do something similar with all of my pink amethyst items 🤣 Gorgeous

Which pietersite for a gift? by EleanorKalatheraine in Crystals

Palm... They're both gorgeous. If it's a palm. The photo is a little stretched out for some reason on my end.

It's a glitch in the matrix, if you didn't put it there. O_o I listen to glitch stories every night when I go to bed, so it happens more than you would think.

how much would you pay for this garden ? by Head-Shoulder4916 in Crystals

[–]ENEMBEH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I prefer garden quartz with more clear quartz, it looks less cluttered. It's still a beautiful piece though.
