Gifted a Pink agate

Was gifted this polished agate by a coworker cleaning her basement but I can’t quite figure out where it comes from or what kind. Reverse search on Google brought similar looking ones but no info from where from. Seems to be naturally pink, the red splotch in the middle confuses me but that’s nature 😂

Can I get some spiritual help on these crystals please :)

Hi everyone! I recently got into collecting crystals for spiritual purposes. So far I've only got 3 pieces to my collection, Im a student so Im on a budget, but soon as Im more comfortable Im thinking of growing my collection!

So my question is I guess, what do you think about the individual crystals in the picture and spiritually how I should use them, I mean how can I get the most from them. Thank you in advance for your time :)

edit: also what should be the next addition to my collection?

Finally got my dream druzy malachite sphere after a year

I've been watching this Ebay listing for 3.41lb 94mm malachite sphere for over a year, really fell in love with the patterns and the caves. Sent couple offers but never reach a deal. Then last week I saw it's still available, so I shot another offer for like half price just for fun, never thought the seller accept it. It was listed for almost $600, got it for $300, definitely the most expensive piece I've ever own.

Any ideas on what crystal this could be?

I got this crystal at a fleamarket and I'm very unsure on what it could be.

"Newly discovered" purple mica and malachite symbiotic sphere... What kind of botched Temu Frankenstein is this? 🤣 The gap patches... Just no. Sorry, just had to share! ><

Anyone know what crystals these are?

Just found these while cleaning my room and I can't remember where I got them. Can anyone tell what they are?

Calcite or fluorite?

I bought this as fluorite, my app says fluorite. How can I tell?

This fire quartz shows asterism.

It does. But I hate how this app uploads my videos.

Would an opal ring be a bad idea for an engagement ring if she loves crystals?

My girlfriend is deep into crystals and opals are her #1 favourite by far

She loves the magical flash and energy they have. So I was thinking of surprising her with an opal ring instead of a plain diamond for our future engagement...

But after reading a bunch of comments here and elsewhere im getting worried. People say you really want something 7.5+ on the Mohs scale for daily wear. Opal is only around 5.5-6 so it seems too soft. They mention it can crack from temperature changes or just normal life stuff like grabbing stuff from the freezer.

Ive been looking online and on Opal Auctions and some look so beautiful for way less money, but now im paranoid it might not hold up long term as an everyday ring.

Has anyone here worn opal rings long term? Or should I look at harder alternatives that still have nice colors like tourmaline, spinel or colorful sapphires? I want it to feel special for her but also actually last yk

Dont wanna mess this up
