Hey there, my friends suggested I try reddit for this. This was my mom's piece from a long time ago, but I'm told it's from the Afghanistan mine, currently held by the taliban.
It's 5.2 lbs. or 2358.68 grams. Is this common quality? I'm hoping for premium quality, haha... What might I lost something like this as? What do I need to know?
Eventually trying to sell, but just showing for now.
Pink quartz towers and chunks.
A piece of petrified wood I'm not sure about. Someone suggested petrified redwood or maybe palm wood.
A 25" tall lavender amethyst. 64.6 pounds, could be a pretty penny. 😉
Then a smoky quartz obelisk with a nice gold pyrite slice through it. I think?
I’m thinking of getting this 2.5ct heated royal blue sapphire, I’m quite new to gemstones and this will be my first purchase of a bigger stone. Really looking for thoughts on this and whether it’s worth it.
Dimensions are 7.7 x 6.1, there is one small feather inclusion at the side. It retails for a bit under $3.8k.
Has anyone used and found it to be a reliable source to identify stones.
I have the filters. Loops. Refractometer and I still have thousands of stones I am.unsure of what they are.
This stone is showing as a spinel with the filters? Does it look like spinel to you all?
Are the filters accurate or should I invest in this machine.
thank you
these came in a recent rock haul was told ruby amethyst and unknown maybe yall can help
I found this when I took a trip in California and made a necklace out of it because I thought it was prettyyy~ I think it might be limestone but please: what do you think this stone is?
