Hello. i bought this on a beach in puerto vallarta, Jalisco in Mexico. The man stated it was genuine obsidian and tried to burn it with a lighter to show it’s genuine. I’m not sure tho bc aren’t you supposed to be able to look at the sun thru true obsidian? As that is what was used in mesoamérica to view the eclipses. this stone is extremely opaque and black all around.
pls help me figure out what kind of rock/crystal this is!
Is anyone know the names of the crater in the picture
Found it at the beach in Wollongong, Australia. Steel doesn’t scratch it and it can scratch a glass bottle. Thought it might be petrified wood but I can’t really see any cellular structure. Any info would be great thanks!
I have been working for the last few months on this web site, https://patternsinthecore.rocks/ .
The purpose of the site is for Lapidary artists and enthusiast. It is open to anyone and everyone, but this is for people who like Rocks, or Stones, or Art or Music.
I am seeking any kind of feedback on this site. Good, bad, ugly, I am wanting to know if the layout is working, or the colors, or the design or anything. I am not finished with this site by a long way, this is a slow cooker, but I am far enough in that I am wanting to know what people think of it. I am not advertising it as of yet except in forums that are for honest critique. I am not a professional and it takes time to work on the whole thing by myself. I am not a coder or programer, I ask AI for help. None of this was created by AI. I only asked it to guide me to where I was wanting to be. Thank you all.
Wondering can i use comet powder or clorox tough stains toilet bowl cleaner to clean minerals like quartz, serpentine, etc? and if i do use it what could happen? It has brown stains. The serpentine i want to remove the white powdery look and give it gloss. 🙏🏻
Thank you in advance.
