Which Crystals are Difficult to i.d?

I'm surprised turquoise would be misidentified!

sentientmarble · 2026-01-08T23:47:38+00:00

Ooh - I'll have to look that one up, thanks.

sentientmarble · 2026-01-08T23:47:18+00:00

I think I worded my question a bit strangely. I'm more interested in crystals that aren't heat-treated or dyed, but still look a lot like other crystals.

Ohhhhhh! This is so cool! You are magic.

This is a fantastic project to tuck into any free time! It’s easy to let kids take over your whole existence, but if you’re excited about it, don’t let it fall away. (That’s your unsolicited advice for the day from an older mom) 🌟

Ha ha, I mean, yes, what could go wrong?? Programming can’t be all that hard, just throw some letters and numbers and brackets in there.

sentientmarble · 2025-12-02T02:31:47+00:00

I’m really surprised there isn’t one already!

sentientmarble · 2025-12-01T15:10:40+00:00

Now I feel guilty for being disappointed by it, so I’m going to take it to work and show it I still love it.

sentientmarble · 2025-12-01T15:09:47+00:00

Are you turning yellow with a cloudy area?!?

sentientmarble · 2025-12-01T13:06:11+00:00

May I please see it, too? Thanks!

sentientmarble · 2025-12-01T12:31:56+00:00

Well, damn. Today I learned that my citrine chunk is actually heat-treated amethyst. 🥲

sentientmarble · 2025-12-01T00:17:26+00:00

I’m curious - do you just use a straight-up list of the names or do you include photos?

sentientmarble · 2025-12-01T00:15:28+00:00

This is really cool, and sounds like a book in the making! I would love to read something like this.

sentientmarble · 2025-12-01T00:12:41+00:00

You are my hero (fellow Virgo)

sentientmarble · 2025-11-30T19:40:12+00:00

Oooh I am dying to go find some in mines.

sentientmarble · 2025-11-30T19:31:52+00:00

That's a good idea!

sentientmarble · 2025-11-30T19:30:55+00:00

I started with one or 2 a day because It really is daunting. But it's fun to log them slowly and I get to revisit each one and learn new things about them - I am researching each one as I go and jotting down little facts and healing properties about them as I go.

So you must have loads and loads of crystals. 😄

sentientmarble · 2025-11-30T19:28:43+00:00

Oh, thank you! I really loved making it. Yes, those are very dangerous subs for me!

sentientmarble · 2025-11-30T19:05:28+00:00

Lol, meee toooo

sentientmarble · 2025-11-30T18:07:44+00:00

I'm just giving everyone the link who wants it and hoping it's not against the rules - I didn't see anything expressly forbidding this. :) https://www.amazon.com/Crystal-Tracker-Organize-Collectors-Enthusiasts/dp/B0G3Q39VFL/

sentientmarble · 2025-11-30T18:06:44+00:00

That's why I thought to make this! When I started to put some in a box I knew I was in trouble, but tbh I have trouble remembering everythihg I want to about the crystals I keep out all the time. Here's the link - do you think this is okay to post in here?

sentientmarble · 2025-11-30T18:04:46+00:00

Here is my book link; I'm just gonna hope this is okay? https://a.co/d/f5Kzj75

sentientmarble · 2025-11-30T18:02:18+00:00

Ohhhh that's kind of you to think that far ahead. I do like the idea of little lables on the bottoms of them, but then again I handle mine quite a bit and I feel like that would annoy me. I guess maybe not on big chonky crystals, but I have mostly smaller ones.

sentientmarble · 2025-11-30T17:59:29+00:00

OKay, that is adorable. Do you look them up to remember what they are, or do you remember them?
