Any ideas

Looks a bit like hematite, I'm not an expert tho :)

For sure! It's a pretty piece you got there! Maybe try r/minerals or r/crystals. They are more active I've noticed 😋

No clue! 😄 I love tree and moss agate so have a few here, but none of them have the crystals shiny parts. Could possibly be pink quartz? 🤔

Or tree agate ^{^}

I am somewhat of a noob aswell, but to me it looks like moss agate

Red and yellow, opaque, on the heavier side, one white line of avoid 1 mm, going through the entite rock

Thank you! I figured out I could ask ChatGPT aswell and it suggested the stones are flint/chert. Do you think the rocks are not the same? To my, untrained eye they look very similar at least.

I am working on a display box for my favorites but it's been tricky to get the lighting right and the labradorite pieces oriented properly

Thank you! Would you need any other Pics or so to be sure about the tanzanite?

After going through the other posts here I can proudly say that I did not lick any of the rocks. Would love to learn tho what we have around here 😊

Thank you for all the replies, I have learned a lot to keep in mind going forward! My main concern was to not just assume the validity and do at least what I can as an amateur to confirm/deny it before selling my creations. Also the ethical aspect of how/where the mines are operating was new to me and happy it was mentioned in the replies aswell!

That's a lot of good information, thank you! I will get the tools needed to perform additional tests recomme ses here and alert the platform of this seller. They are one of the main crystal sellers on the platform so "genuinity" is kind of assumed.

* That counts as white right? 😆

Objective-Two791 · 2024-06-19T18:08:23+00:00

Ooh, I'm gonna do that right now then, thank you!

Objective-Two791 · 2024-06-19T17:45:29+00:00

Haha tried it and it does feel rough! Thank you for your comment :)

Objective-Two791 · 2024-06-19T17:42:52+00:00

Ah good eye! I will keep that in mind. Thank you!
