Video of mystery stone

Is it mica? It has this inner shine. It doesn’t fluoresce under a uv but it is very opaque under a uv light. The uv light just bounces off of it.

What stone is this 2

Better pics of stone. It has a streaky sort of sheen inside of the stone. Its exterior is not the satin sheen you see. It’s like tigers eye but kind of like opal. It’s translucent (I think) but not not opaque because of all of those reflective inclusions.

What stone is this?

It does not fluoresce under a uv light, it just glances off it. I thought it was fluorite but I don’t think that anymore. Any ideas? Guesses?

Please be peridot cont…

I thought this 1-3 was fluorite so I’m having a hard time with pic 4 deciding what it is. It’s strange tbh.

Please be peridot.

Is this crystal peridot or fluorite? I did test its specific gravity but that was months ago and I remember thinking it was peridot but fluorite is in the same kind of range density speaking. I forget what it was but I’ll post it in the comments it’s specific gravity in a few hours when I have down time. I posted some other peridots that seem the same I found online.

Any tips? I’m going to use soy wax because beeswax burns so much harder. Is it alright if I go with using oil dissolvable fragrance oils vs water dissolvable? I’ve made candles before, but mainly the pillar candle molds. I’d like to do that again eventually with beeswax. I just have been making some perfumes a several months back and I’d like to use some of my mixes for scented candles. Any recommendations on where to buy from? I am reading comments on here but I’d like to have a few suggestions on my post here. Thanks guys.
