BLUES

These are both dark and light blue. I've been told blue quartz, but they just aren't the same. Closer to agate seems to me.

I think you have some Blue Apatite or Blue Quartz. Very colorful specimen! -Luke

Have apatite around here, but this is very hard. Isn't apatite pretty low on mohs?

 

[BurntBear]

Yes, it's a defining mineral at 5 on the Mohs scale. Try scratching a part of the blue with steel.

 

[shaman15771]

K will try that, but it does scratch glass.

If it does that I'd say you've been told correctly that its blue quartz. Does not appear to be an agate because of the granular patterning. Nice color

It is pretty. They all are LOL. Have A LOT of blues. However, figuring out what I have is the fun part.
