Origin India, Fluorite raw

​Hey everyone,

​I need help identifying this crystal specimen. I'm torn between Amethyst and Rose Quartz due to its lighting and undertones.

​Also, is it geologically possible to have a single crystal where Rose Quartz and Amethyst are naturally fused or zoned together?

​Check out the photos attached. Would appreciate your insights!

Hey guys!!

I’ve been recycling second hand crystal jewellery for about a year now. My mum keeps giving me bits of her old jewellery to use in this.

Does anyone know what crystal this could be? Is it just a raw quartz piece ?

Thanks in advance!! :)

Both are 925 silver, both from Pakistan.

I did the fog test on both, the top lasts 3 to 5 seconds,l before it clears, the bottom 2 to 3 seconds before it clears.

My mother said the bottom was lapis lazuli, which just isn’t true as it’s clear.

I think they’re glass, but I also think they might be synthetic corundum?

Found among pyrite and likely marcasite in the huron shale member of Ohio. Some are rainbowy which makes me think of chalcopyrite, some are very brassy/copper-colored. Im not too familiar pyrite & look alikes, so was curious if anyone else had info. They have an interesting crystal structure, different than stereotypical pyrite.

I found it on the table in a coffee shop. I asked each person individually if it was theirs. The last woman I asked said, “Maybe it’s meant for you” haha. What is it? it’s very smooth

i lost my necklace and i have no idea what crystal this is :( and i want to try and replace it! it was kinda greenish but it was kinda clear too ?? with black spots in it!

What is it? I was surprised by how round it is, I was thinking maybe someone left it behind.

Hello my dad recently passed away, he loved his rocks and minerals and has a massive collection of beautiful pieces. It’s taken me weeks to sift through everything to find them all and they all need to be cleaned so I can pass onto the family but I’m not sure how to clean as no idea what they are. Im also worried about which ones could be potentially toxic. Spending time with his collection has being healing in a way, my dad would take me out with him when he was looking for new rare pieces to add to his collection. I miss him so much and just want to be respectful of his pieces. These are some of them, i’ve labeled each photo with letters :) any help with identification would be amazing :)

I just ordered this decent sized tower (5.5”x3”x3”) and it was sold as purple fluorite but I’m wondering if it may actually be lepidolite?

Is it carnelian? Or something else?

I got these for what I think is a decent price so I just want to make sure. I read that they are supposed to have bubbles but the last one looks like it has a huge bubble. Didn’t know if that’s normal, never had one before. Prices and sample pictures online range so much that I’m just wanting more opinions. Please and thank you.
