mineral identification

  1. 🔎 UNIDENTIFIED What Gem or Mineral is this one?

    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...
  2. 🔎 UNIDENTIFIED Is this real gold or fool's gold in quartz?

    Found in Sweetwater, TX
  3. 🔎 UNIDENTIFIED Blue/purple stone needing identification

    Discovered in Sweetwater, TX
  4. 🔎 UNIDENTIFIED Help Identifying translucent stone please...

    Found in Sweetwater, TX
  5. 🔎 UNIDENTIFIED Are These Diamonds?

    I have read as much as I could and looked at every image on the internet...and yet I'm still not confident if these are diamonds. Why? Because for every precious gemstone, there are 10 other stones that look exactly the same. 😂 I know kimberlite, blue ground, natural erosion of diamonds...
  6. 🔎 UNIDENTIFIED Help Identifying Stones.

    I dug these up in Sweetwater, TX.
  7. Is this calcite?

    I believe this is calcite, but just wanted to get other opinions. Milky white. Filling cracks in Mississippian (or maybe Pennsylvanian?) limestone in the Wasatch Mountains in Utah. That's my stubby toe in the second pic for scale. :) Thanks in advance!
  8. What is it? little black cirlcles on turquoise I think

    black circles on blue

    Not exactly sure if this is even what i think it is but if i believe to have found a specimen how do i go about getting it analyzed? Any info would be greatly appreciated and thankyou in advance for your time!

  13. strange mineral identification.

    I hope than someone know something about this mineral of brown color. It is like a glass inside with strange circular structure. Thank you. Mike
  14. mix of minerals?

    What is it? It looks like it has pieces of multiple minerals. There's a section with crystals, looks like maybe some pyrite, some parts look oily, very few dark blue specs, a section that looks like hematite or jasper. I'll try to clearer photos another day because my phone camera can't quite...

  17. euchroite? green quartz?? What is it?

    SOLVED euchroite? green quartz?? What is it? More minerals/ gems from the box of random rocks I found in my basement. Blue-green, translucent, scratches glass. I don't have any background in this but I'm trying my best with the materials I have.
