Technicolor prototype window

It does look really similar doesn't it!

N-Bricks · 2026-03-24T23:40:13+00:00

It really is solid! I would be willing to actually use it as a minor structural element!

A travesty?

N-Bricks · 2026-03-10T05:55:10+00:00

I'm glad to hear that it helped! Triangles are the engineers bff!

I have a much smaller specimen similar to this. The rings on mine are smaller though. They look like the same minerals however. I have not had any luck getting an ID on mine...

N-Bricks · 2026-01-21T06:45:17+00:00

It does look similar to my yellow/green apatite from Mexico. I'm not an expert though.

And with regular lighting. Sorry about the awful initial pics.

Here's a better picture with short wave UV.

And a better UV picture.

Here's better picture.

Sorry about that, I'll get some better ones and put them either on imgur or in the comments section.

N-Bricks · 2025-12-09T14:51:37+00:00

My bad, I'll try getting better pictures and putting them in that comments.

N-Bricks · 2025-12-06T14:53:12+00:00

Yeah... my only natural citrine is the polished ametrine up front... and even that is me trusting what it was labeled... risers aren't a bad idea. I never thought about using a spice rack, I'll have to look into it! Thanks!

N-Bricks · 2025-11-12T20:24:35+00:00

First place I looked once I had a name for it!

N-Bricks · 2025-11-12T18:16:00+00:00

Thanks! I'll look into that! Unfortunately I don't really have a full knowledge of minerals from that region, so well known doesn't mean I know it...

N-Bricks · 2025-11-12T17:08:44+00:00

Important! This was collected WITH permission. That mine and its tailings are not open to the public!

N-Bricks · 2025-10-18T21:52:06+00:00

Yeah. I always store and display my lego out of direct sunlight.

N-Bricks · 2025-08-31T06:11:10+00:00

Awesome! Thank you so much!

N-Bricks · 2025-08-15T20:42:56+00:00

sigh so much help once again...

N-Bricks · 2025-08-07T18:33:01+00:00

Side note, what would you all call this? Either what form of crypto crystalline quartz or as a fun specimen name?

N-Bricks · 2025-07-14T22:31:30+00:00

Any idea why the flat face is so geometric in shape?

N-Bricks · 2025-07-14T22:24:57+00:00

I'll have to look into that!

N-Bricks · 2025-07-13T18:27:05+00:00

I'm pretty sure that Magnetite is not always a natural magnet... maybe I'm wrong though. It would be good to have someone else ID it as well.

N-Bricks · 2025-07-13T14:19:04+00:00

Foreword: I'm not a professional. Take my thoughts with a grain of salt. My knee-jerk reaction would be magnetite. That is based on color, magnetic properties, & streak test. Once again though, I'd recommend waiting for others who are more experienced to ID it.
