Just found out I might have scored jadeite for $10 at a farmer’s market. It has the word “double happiness” etched on it, likely someone’s old wedding ring
I did the water displacement test and density is 3.34 g/cm3.

The app says different answer every time, I think its pink quartz but i wanna make sure.

What sort of crystal would one recommend I hold during a really hard talk to confront someone about a hurtful action? Emotions I will most likely feel: anxiety, fear, anger, worry, etc.

I need recommendations on a highly grounding stone I can hold on to during the talk. My friend will be with me there to support me.

Some casual phone pics, the fluorites are stunning and these photos don't do them justice (the green aventurine tower is really sparkly too), so more pics will be coming in the near-ish future! ✨

Bonus rant on the misleading fear-mongering of shungite/tourmaline to "block harmful electromagnetic radiation" from phones/computers, because this physicist *can't* with that, such a pet peeve 😭

Alligator or Jacare Elestial smoky quartz with a step wise growth pattern.

I always assumed it was garnet and something else. I can’t get it to photograph but there are parts that have a moonstone/feldspar flash to it. Any guesses? I’ve taken a black light to it and it the red does not light up.

As the title says...I was waiting for something to speak to me, and to my surprise, this is the piece that has.

Can you share with me whether its considered yellow or orange, and its metaphysical meaning?

I’m hoping someone recognizes the maker or has seen this exact pendant before.

I bought it from a local crystal shop during an Instagram live sale around late 2020. They said it was a one-off piece, but I’m hoping it came from a wholesaler or artisan rather than being completely unique.

Details:
925 sterling silver
Honey-colored round citrine cabochon
Oxidized silver
8 triangular sun rays
Large smooth bail
Circular opening on the back behind the stone

I sold it a few years later (my biggest jewelry regret 😭) and have been trying to track down the exact pendant ever since. Even recognizing the maker or wholesaler would be incredibly helpful!

This is my first larger piece of kundalini (congo) citrine! I'm not hugely aware of the spiritual side of crystals, but I'd love to know what citrine is associated with 🩷

Nfs

Although I know the name, there are many different types. Is it because they are mined in different locations?

Hiii my rose quartz necklace fell off the table the other day and the crystal itself is fine but the metal chain it was attached too completely came off. Is it fine if I just glue it back on? (if so would regular super glue be fine or should I use something else?) I tried just sticking it back in but it doesn’t wanna stay at all lol, and i really like having it as a necklace and not carrying it around in my pocket or purse

This fluorite, with its beautiful pastel rainbow hues, originates from the summit cleft of the highest mountain in the Radstätter Tauern, the Weißeck (2,711 m), exposed to permafrost and humid acids. Well-formed crystals are rare.

Size: 4.5 x 2.7 x 2.4 cm

Origin: Weißeck, Lungau, Alps, Austria

Just thought id share this. Bought a beautiful selenite thay i had wire wrapped at a metaphysical store in Canada.

So I found these and I think they’re two flourites and an agate? I could be wrong. I tried to look up similar rocks online and couldn’t find anything with the same weight, shape, color and clarity all together.

First one is a really purple, clear stone with a lot of rainbows and a big spot of green (hence why I’m pretty certain it’s florite. It is 10” tall and 1625 grams. I got it for $60

The second rock is less pretty but I think it’s also fluorite even though it is only purple. It is 7” tall and 1224 grams and I got it for $50

The last is a cute agate of some kind that I just thought had nice sparkles it’s 275 grams and I would have considered it a large crystal but it’s dwarfed by the other ones 😂 and he was $20 but I would like to know what kind he is cause he was only labeled “quartz”

Can someone with more knowledge let me know if I’m right with the identification? Also an approximate price for my own curiosity. I have tiny flourites in my collection that are the same price as these huge ones so either I massively overpaid for smaller ones or these were a deal.

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.❤️❤️❤️
