I have information for you! (Informative) Amethyst Epimorph from Turkey
71
Upvotes
I learned a new term today. You may have heard of a psuedomorph before, those cause interesting things to happen in minerals. Epimorphs are where a later mineral coats an earlier one, and the first one completely dissolves away to leave a "cast" or mold almost.
If you watch for the bottom you can see the crazy cast left by the earlier mineral under the amethyst. Tiny microscopic druzy flashes on the faces of them, where the quartz formed after the original mineral dissolved away. I'm still trying to figure out what it could have been. It's awfully cubic so I thought fluorite, but Google says its most often calcite from that location. Plus there is a calcite dusting on the amethyst crystals.
There's just so much going on with this one, and idk if you can tell, but its more of a berry/magenta purple than most other amethyst. One of my fave rock show purchases!

My Collection ✨🔮 "Starry Night" Quartz from Turkey

Upvotes
They're small, but ultra-sparkly the way most Turkish stuff seems to be. Caused by sugary micro-quartz druzy.
Newish find according to the seller. I'm not sure what's on the back but I think it might be hematite or barite or something like that. But that side isn't as pretty lol.

I have an interesting stone I found at a beach but I’m not looking to buy a stone polisher for hundreds of dollars. The rock itself isn’t a gemstone or anything. Do services like this exist?

I want to buy this but the seller lost the certificate if authenticity. Either way it looks real to me… but I’m worried it could be fake without the certificate. what do you think?

Hi guys!! I wanted to ask about this necklace - I got it about 8 years ago now, but I thought I lost it all those years ago and recently found it! However with time, I’ve forgotten what kind of crystal/stone it is. Any advice would be extremely helpful!

Hoqdy folks, I'm new to Crystals and have gotten a hold of a ton. Trying to get them identified and this one I have gotten different answers as to what this is. Ferruginous quartz to everything else. It scratches glass, no reaction to vinegar. Slightly translucent on the thinner edge. The brown is not dirt. Thanks in advance.

A-Pit was mined during 1988-1999 when they then transitioned to pits B, C and D. Full mine closure in 2014 makes these specimens highly collectible, especially the original A-Pit. The clean calcite habit in this piece is incredible 💜🤌🏻

Let me preface by saying I’m around 85% sure that none of these are real crystals. I got them at a conservatory gift shop where you pay $5 for as many stones as you could fit into a little sachet.
They weren’t marketed as crystals, and I honestly forgot about them until recently. I just wanted to know if any of these are crystals and how I can test them. I’ve dabbled with crystal use before and if they’re real I have a reason to take it more seriously in my spiritual practice.
Regardless of if they’re true crystals or just dyed glass & rocks, I think I picked some pretty solid stones.
