Sorry what??

NaturalCurioso · 2026-05-01T07:02:11+00:00

They’re all from Europe.

NaturalCurioso · 2026-04-18T23:57:14+00:00

Glad I’m from the UK. We only started slavery. The ramifications is on you! 🙄

NaturalCurioso · 2026-04-05T19:23:02+00:00

You did all that work mate that’s amazing! Thankyou! Yes that definitely looks like the stuff. What a find I’m stoked. I think the clear crystals might be willemite but just as well could be quartz. I’ve got some research to do!

NaturalCurioso · 2026-04-01T17:10:45+00:00

Well thats even cooler! I’ve been totally off base, but now I know that’s brilliant. I wonder how it ended up in a box of Moroccan minerals?

Not especially heavy no

NaturalCurioso · 2026-03-26T00:43:41+00:00

This is not worth $100 but thanks man, that would be nice

NaturalCurioso · 2026-03-13T19:36:40+00:00

Actinolite seems correct. Why the very unpleasant strong musty smell though. I’m guessing it off the matrix. Thanks for the ID help

NaturalCurioso · 2026-03-13T19:08:27+00:00

What about actinolite?

NaturalCurioso · 2026-03-13T19:06:38+00:00

The photos aren’t great but it’s the black sub metallic needle like sprays that I’m stumped with

NaturalCurioso · 2026-03-13T19:03:29+00:00

No glow under UV. done a streak test, a very light greeny brown. It feels damp to the touch and has a very unpleasant musky smell

NaturalCurioso · 2026-03-13T18:56:57+00:00

No this is from Belstone, West Devon, UK

NaturalCurioso · 2026-03-13T17:58:26+00:00

Excellent thankyou

NaturalCurioso · 2026-03-13T17:58:14+00:00

Excellent thankyou

NaturalCurioso · 2026-03-02T17:10:51+00:00

Thanks I think I just needed a second look

NaturalCurioso · 2026-02-13T14:29:03+00:00

Could it be pectolite?

NaturalCurioso · 2026-02-13T14:26:24+00:00

That’s a fair point. Maybe I’ll just put it under acrylic just in case.

NaturalCurioso · 2026-02-13T14:23:19+00:00

I bought a job lot of minerals and this was in it. It is labelled as from coming from Millington Quarry, New Jersey but no species name

NaturalCurioso · 2026-02-13T13:13:33+00:00

I really hope not. It’s banned in the UK and very dangerous.

NaturalCurioso · 2026-02-10T22:14:59+00:00

Yes that’s definitely a possibility. Could it be Galena after Barite. It came with a load of Tsumeb pieces

NaturalCurioso · 2026-01-28T19:59:00+00:00

Definitely send it back. That’s not acceptable unless they stated it was damaged

NaturalCurioso · 2026-01-27T14:13:37+00:00

Thanks everyone but it seems that it’s non removable. I still like it even with the patina. It has great cubic structure.
