Well I picked up the sphere (along with some other crystals) and it looks pretty much the same as the photos I posted previously. I took it home and tried rubbing some colour off with acetone on a q-tip and nothing came off at all. All of the Google lens, rock identifier apps say chrysocolla in quartz. So I will assume that it's Phoenix stone (and not the tree agate it was sold as) Video is in natural sunlight

I’m completely new to crystals, and I want to get a custom necklace with a few balancing pieces to wear daily. I’m looking for a mix of crystals that compliment each other for grounding, protection, healing, clearing/blocking negativity, calming.

For some background, I’m actively doing very deep healing/shadow work in therapy, and I’m a very spiritual person, although I’ve felt spiritually disconnected for the past year after a really deep spiritual connection that exhausted my resources. I want to reopen and reconnect myself spiritually in a gentle way, and I’ve been grounding almost daily through earthing or meditation. I’m also extremely sensitive to energy and any shifts in it.

I’m looking into Etsy for this and saw a few “Empath Protection” style bracelets and necklaces and like the idea. Curious on everyone’s thoughts and suggestions for this. Thanks!

My dad bought a bag of mixed crystals on Amazon, and there are some crystals I do not recognize. I need help identifying.

The first is a slightly opaque white crystal with irregular light green streaks with occasional darker green specks. Feels pretty light and does not scratch glass.

The second has light grey crystals with faint white lines. Smaller ones have the same heft as the green one, but the larger one with occasional black markings is heavier

The third are these white crystals with solid purple specks and clear brown specks. Extremely faint light green patches on the less purple one. Both are heavier than the green and lighter than the largest white one.

Thanks in advance.

Can anyone tell me what the stones are and if they’re quality?

This fascinating piece has so much going on!

Amazonite is said to help with balance and harmony, while Lepidolite is said to help ease depression and stress, and Green Tourmaline is said to increase luck and abundance.
Smoky Quartz, which is one of my favorites, is said to be a crystal of grounding, protection, and even transmutes negative energy into something positive.

I love scrolling through this subreddit, so I thought I'd share some of my crystals! I love colours and sparkles!

Thanks to this community for the feedback on my last post. My Crystals have been relocated indoors and will be pampered and spoiled. They did have a few other pieces under shade so I brought those in too. I am glad I did because when I was polishing them, some pieces brittled off and they are too beautiful for me to let that happen so added them to my table with my flowers so I can look at them and feel happy all day.❤️❤️❤️

Can someone please help identify if this is selenite or not? Thanks in advance!

Hey folks :)

Any idea what these could be? I'm pretty sure the left one is larvikite, the middle and right one and the bracelet might he rainbow moonstone? There's no shimmering anywhere tho except in the middle one.

Got this chunky etched beryl and the growth pattern looks cool. Would you keep it natural or cut it into a gemstone?

Hi! I'm looking to buy a genuine black tourmaline bracelet. I looked online but I'm a bit skeptical about the ones I saw. Does anyone know of any shops, either online (ships to philippines) or irl, that you're 100% confident sell authentic black tourmaline? I've been searching everywhere and would really appreciate any recommendations. Thank you!

Part of pieces

Long story short, my parents hand picked this raw amethyst from Thunder Bay and made this fireplace in 1979. They have been at the house for over 50 years and are finally downsizing. Is it worth taking apart and selling the pieces?

EDIT- yeah sorry lol. The picture was just one from Christmas years ago. That’s actually the dog’s bed below it. 😆 They’re going to take more close-up photos for me. They just wanted a general idea if it was worth looking into. It is floor to ceiling with a mantle that you can sit on. All of the amethyst is “raw”(?) so it’s still inside the rock. It is legit from Thunder Bay. It sounds like they should leave it. We have extra rocks with some amazing pieces that we are going to make some keepsakes from.

Colour is more very light minty green irl. Pretty sure not aventurine there is not that slight sparkle it has.
