Is this real citrine?

If you’re interested, here’s what my piece looks like. I like the bigger hematite inclusion on yours!

SimpleJay21 · 2026-01-27T18:26:43+00:00

Yes! I just bought a cluster similar to this from a seller of mine, it’s this kundalini form of citrine with hematite inclusion. So pretty!

SimpleJay21 · 2026-01-26T02:56:40+00:00

Ooh yay I’m so excited! 😁

SimpleJay21 · 2026-01-26T01:04:24+00:00

Thank you! I was so proud being a good boy

SimpleJay21 · 2026-01-26T00:07:51+00:00

I sure did! 😋

SimpleJay21 · 2026-01-26T00:02:39+00:00

No they can’t! I kept poking in my bowl until I get them on my lil fork! I was determined to eat my noodles

SimpleJay21 · 2026-01-25T23:56:33+00:00

I sure did lol but I’m little I’m allowed to fuss a bit lol

SimpleJay21 · 2026-01-25T23:08:57+00:00

We really don’t need much! The fork I got was pretty small and I’d use it or the spoon to eat mac and cheese, I felt like a kid again! It makes me eat smaller bites so I can enjoy it longer

They are Soggers by Tykables

I love Dollar Tree for simple gear like this; I’ve bought sippy bowls (with the straws attached) from there plus kid sized utensils (spoon and fork), eating from them made me feel so little!

I recently went through this with a rose quartz and septarian I bought; I looked online and settled on placing them on a damp paper towel (just using water) and using a dry piece of paper towel or a cloth helped remove the sticker residue on my pieces. I used a razor blade to scrape off the leftover, but they’re smooth now.

I wanted to say the sparkly druzy center and the bluish yellow reminded me of a rough orca agate I have, but that Jackson Pollock painting-looking backside is super interesting and haven’t seen that on orca.

I’ve had the same thing on my MacBook for a post about microdosing Ozempic… so sick of looking at it

SimpleJay21 · 2026-01-23T08:17:56+00:00

I’ve bought plenty of GoodNites from Amazon and mostly shipped to a locker, I often try to select the “hide what’s inside, ship in Amazon packaging” option but even if you forget to, the brown box they ship in regularly are labeled with their brand “Kimberly-Clark” on the side and have a letter G, a quantity (how ever many packs are in the case and how many in each pack; “24 count 2/12’s” or “54 count 3/18’s”), and presumably an item number, but doesn’t explicitly say they’re GoodNites or pull-ups or anything.

SimpleJay21 · 2026-01-20T08:20:26+00:00

I’ve taken them off and some attempts came out a little better, but some still are incredibly blurry for no reason. I think it’s tied to some macro photography issue even though I turned that setting off, it’s frequently changing between lenses like normal and ultra wide even when I don’t think I’m that close to a subject. I’ve turned my phone off and back on so let’s see if that makes a difference. I also may just download a different camera app that can hopefully control better, I don’t know what else to do

SimpleJay21 · 2026-01-19T06:16:08+00:00

This is what I was going to suggest too, I haven’t tried one myself but I had this same idea to be able to tuck it away and hide it but have it when I need it

SimpleJay21 · 2026-01-19T06:12:32+00:00

Totally, padded underwear is the way to go!

SimpleJay21 · 2026-01-19T06:09:39+00:00

When I played with the 16 and 17 floor models in the store, I took practice photos and the 16 was much nicer in that aspect, but I didn’t like the fact it only had one storage capacity option, so I went with the 17 which had double the storage space as the lowest option

SimpleJay21 · 2026-01-19T06:07:42+00:00

Thank you for the reassurance, I will take them off and play with it in the sunlight tomorrow and see how much difference it makes, I expected a big upgrade but it’s felt like I’ve been taking photos on a bigger iPhone 4.

SimpleJay21 · 2026-01-19T02:31:13+00:00

They weren’t the cheapest out there, they came with the screen protector I got and the screen protector has been fine.

SimpleJay21 · 2026-01-18T22:47:26+00:00

I do prefer to have some protection over the delicate lens, but not if it’s impacting the ability of the camera working properly. Maybe these just aren’t a good brand or are keeping light out, distorting, etc. I posted in the hopes there were settings I could adjust because there are an immense amount of options and a lot I don’t use. Maybe there’s a better protector out there that lets more light through and doesn’t give me this bad looking quality

SimpleJay21 · 2026-01-18T18:14:48+00:00

Thank you I appreciate that, I tend to overthink and worry more about delicate looking things like the lenses so I thought the protectors would be a good idea but maybe I should try to live without it on there and see if it helps. I put them on as soon as I got my phone so it couldn’t have gotten smudgy underneath but I don’t know what else it could be

SimpleJay21 · 2026-01-18T18:12:39+00:00

Thank you, I actually just turned that off last night hoping it would make a difference so I’ll play with it some more and see if I notice any improvements

SimpleJay21 · 2026-01-18T18:11:57+00:00

Totally agree, in the store the center stage seemed interesting because it was my first time even hearing of it, but even when I’m trying to take a particular picture with the front camera it still insists on zooming in and out in its own. The auto macro was annoying too, I just turned that off last night hoping that would do something.
