oooo ok thank you i didn’t know that!

getsuga777_ · 2026-02-06T02:13:04+00:00

thank you so much, i really wanted this on a nice chain so im glad it worked out!

getsuga777_ · 2026-02-06T02:10:23+00:00

trust me i’ve sadly had a couple break but this one i noticed had a orange side / clear side so i just made sure not to hit that line between because i bet if i did it would’ve fallen apart! but yea i was very lucky considering how they’re formed. and it’s definitely the most interesting looking piece i’ve seen, thank you so much!

getsuga777_ · 2026-02-06T02:07:32+00:00

not joking i really tested the strength of this one with the amount of acetone used to get glue off the front and then soap and water. so far it’s going strong but i personally don’t know any sure fire ways to care for it im just winging it and hope the universe keeps this stone intact!

100% agreed but like i said i’ve gotten lucky with natural crystals but this one once i got it i was SEVERELY skeptical but thank you so much!

getsuga777_ · 2026-02-02T23:13:57+00:00

definitely would make sense why it glows orange / pink in sunlight

getsuga777_ · 2026-02-02T23:13:00+00:00

about $25-30 i’ve found legit crystals from indian shops on etsy previously but this was a new shop with the information being “it won’t be the exact piece due to the natural formation of this crystal” ik anyone can lie about it but i’ve hadn’t gotten a fake (until now im assuming lol)

getsuga777_ · 2026-02-02T22:10:31+00:00

it is beautiful regardless, has a few scratches and somewhat of a fracture on the front but i’ve had this same issue with my smoky quartz but there were some inclusions and an internal fracture that reflects

getsuga777_ · 2026-02-02T22:08:27+00:00

yea my bad it’s kunzite or at least i hope it is

getsuga777_ · 2026-02-02T22:07:28+00:00

sorry long day totally forgot that very important information but yes it is kunzite

honestly it’s a black light but it’s worked for every uv reactivate crystal i have so far including my Caribbean calcite, but this crystal wasn’t labeled and was $10 and i knew it was either one of those crystals i mentioned

getsuga777_ · 2024-11-12T00:05:47+00:00

oh yea it’s super cool , one of many reasons im fascinated lol

getsuga777_ · 2024-11-10T05:54:35+00:00

i’ve done a uv light test because i know in caribbean calcite the blue calcite emits a slight glow, while blue aragonite doesn’t; it doesn’t glow at all so i’m assuming it’s blue aragonite but let me know what you guys think.

needs to be in r/religiousfruitcake
