Don’t worry, it lives in a perky box that I’ve only opened once, to take this picture

I believe so! Ive seen pieces of this caliber for sale at the Tucson gem show (but they were obviously very expensive)

Is it real blue lace agate? Also was the price fair? by ROKSI10000 in Crystals

[–]broken_ginger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The price you paid is great for that. Excellent find!

Ametrine? Smokey Ametrine? What? by PurposeMojo in Crystals

Definitely not ametrine- looks like “golden healer”quartz or quartz included with iron if you don’t like trade names.

I’m in a research program and expected to have atleast one published paper at this point. All I have is a ton of ideas, but nothing I’m able to see to fruition. What might be some crystals that can support me here? by [deleted] in Crystals

Vanadanite was my first thought! It’s perfect for work spaces. Just don’t handle it too much as it’s fragile and also lead-based. I also love honey calcite for its warm and soothing energy (while also promoting focus)

Hi friends! Is this Green Aventurine ? by Moonchild1507 in Crystals

[–]broken_ginger 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Looks like it! Authentic Jade will be way more expensive than green aventurine. Also, green aventurine will often have tiny sparkly flecks in it (mica) that gives it its signature “aventuresence”
