I just had to share this spectacular piece here. I know some people won't like that its been cut/ faceted but I think it allows you to see more!

I have genuinely never came across such a piece. It was described as Smokey Citrine by Supplier, but I lean Smokey Quartz. Eitherway its the inclusions which are amazing!

Rainbow Inclusions

Golden Rutile Inclusions

Garden Inclusions

Phantom Inclusions

I have never came across such a piece before and its cut with 24 faces!

Reposting because the automod removed it the first time because I had a question mark. 😅

This sucker is heavy, but the color is so pretty. It's a bit more lavender in person. 99% certain its from Choix, Mexico.

This is my first piece of smithsonite. It might not be the highest quality, but I got it for less than an arm and a leg and I love it. Considering I've only seen small pieces for sale, I feel pretty lucky!

An unsusual pyrite crystal with curved crystal faces. On some sides the edges curve inwards, in others they curve outwards.

Just thought it was intresting as it was carved by nature. It's not mine but was too interesting to not show!

This is one of the newest additions to my collection. I got it for a great price too!

Somewhere in the early 1500s in rural China, this meteorite fell. The locals thought it was dragons and accordingly, left them alone. Nobody messes with dragons unless they absolutely have to.

Fast-forward to the cultural revolution and now, no dragons anymore (😭) but they need metal and so they went out and gathered up the pieces. Luckily their ovens were not hot enough to melt it and that's why I have this little piece!
