crystal

Hello! I'm new to crystal identification and I am uncertain what this is. My best guesses are Dolomite or Quartz, but I would like to confirm or deny that It has a slight tinge of green/yellowish "glow" at the base, the white is not transparent or reflective like metal however you can see light...

It's quite similar to quartz, it kind of looks like salt crystals, it's greyish, all of them are almost triangular with sharp edges. it is on an glittery white gray stone with some lighter strips, around the crystals it is more white (maybe calcite?), like in an amethyst geode. I found it near...

I recently bought this crystal and was wondering if it is smokey quartz and a good quality crystal. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank You!!

I picked this up in a lot from an estate auction in North Carolina. I'm not entirely sure what it is I thought it might be Beryl but I think it could also be green Tourmaline I'm not all that familiar with the different types of green gems. It's 2 centimeters long and fairly clear I can't see...

Recently I was reorganizing my collection and I found a bunch of unidentified pieces I had forgotten about and just stored away. Iv'e picked out my 4 favorites if anyone could help me figure out what any of them are It'd be greatly appreciated! The largest piece is the one I'm most curious...

So there's a bit of a story behind these. My great great grandparents use to be rock hounds their property has multiple sheds just full of various crystals and just interesting rocks they liked the look of. The property has been abandoned for about 40 years and my great grandmother who now owns...

I've had this for years but I have no idea what it is. Help?

I found this while I was on a hike and I took my kids to the creek near the trail. It looks like there’s some sort of crystal growing in a couple of holes too. I checked some stuff out so I’m not sure if it’s solicified coral or what. It’s pretty heavy and about the size of a baseball. These...

Greetings, We had been to the Tunduru Mountains and met our old friend, he is gone with age and managed to give us his find from deep in the mountains which looked like the images uploaded. He thought the object had some magical features and could help in healing but then that was not his...

Anyone know what these markings are? An age? thanks

Hello, my mum bought this in an auction ages ago because its quite cool and I was just wondering what it is/ how it might have formed? It's cirtainly iron and is very heavy for its size so I wonder if it's quite pure! I half thought it was a meteorite but it dosnt have scorch marks / a layer of...

I found this rock in Washington,DC in the NW area. It is sparkling all over with cooper looking flakes on the side view.

Found this beautiful specimen on the Mattole River (northern CA coast) it has some beautiful colors and shapes to it! Any ideas or info would be greatly appreciated!

I don't post much here anymore because I am so busy, but I thought I'd share some cool finds so far this year. I am a dealer in Japan and come back to California to dig & buy every 2 months. Spencer Opal - been on a binge for Spencers. The opal banding and the nodules the come in are awesome...

I have attached a picture of a large reddish orange crystal I found at wind creek wetumpka state park in alabama, I also found some quartz crystals nearby. Anyone have any clue what type of stone or crystal this is?

I've been tyring to figure out what these are for the longest time but I just can't seem to crack the case. Sorry for the bad picture my camera is not very good. The first one on the left is solid smooth black with veins of blue quartz looking rock running through out it my best guest is some...
