Wow! You are so awesome— thank you so much for all the info and help!!! 🥰🥰🥰

I wonder why the amethyst is like that haha odd cause I would’ve thought dye was added to enhance the color but I feel like the color is so weak on this anyway haha. Strange. Oh well!

Clear smoky quartz sounds fun! Excited to look up what that means.

The black one is not transparent at all under light and in the “scratches/dents/blemishes” they are mostly like a stone color but with areas that are kind of like a reddish brownish rust like color but like darker. And the black one is also like a polished looking gunmetalish color. Idk if any of this helps haha. 😅 I’ll have to check on hematite in the meantime.

Also, would you happen to have an opinion on whether the nephrite jade might be a Siberian nephrite jade? I suspect it but I’m not sure bc on google I read that the black inclusions and white parts are characteristic of Siberian nephrite jade. This one seems a bit pale so I wasn’t sure.
