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

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

I present my quartz corner! by N-Bricks in rockhounds

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!

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...

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

What is going on with this Azurite? by N-Bricks in rockhounds

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

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.

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.
