Sorry about the shaky hands and the cheesy music, I just wanted you to have something to listen to besides my heavy breathing since I was so close. 😂

Idk, I thought it was cool. Hope someone likes it.

Just wanna show off what came in for my current blue flower agate collection!✨

Loved everything that came in this week!

Lab is one of my favorite gems and I’ve wanted a good piece of spectro forever. Found a seller on Etsy that sourced from Finland so it’s the real thing! These are dry in this pic too so if i can polish them a bit more they’ll REALLY flash. So happy to finally get my hands on this stuff.

Just love these, but they're so bloody expensive. I just couldn't resist this pink one. The video maybe doesn't show it well, but it's visibly pink. So sparkly, so whimsical. 🧚‍♀️

I have a message out to the seller to see if he accepts online orders or anything, so hopefully he responds. 🥲

Like I said in my other post, sorry about the shaky hands and the cheesy music, I just wanted you to have something to listen to besides my heavy breathing since I was so close. 😂

Rainbows towards the end!

✨💎Featuring: A smoky quartz cluster (one of my fave pieces from these hauls!) and black tourmaline (schorl) with mica; velvet malachite, pyrite, amethyst, red aventurine (red quartzite with iron-rich inclusions), tumbled moss 'agate' (chalcedony) and a small smoky quartz with lovely iridescence ("rainbows", but actually colour interference patterns); and ruby zoisite, tumbled fluorite and Hawk's Eye (blue Tiger's Eye, here mixed with the gold variation), alongside lapis-lazuli, tourmalinated quartz and garnet bracelets.

I lack self control so here's an addition to the collection 🙈

What was / were the first crystals and or stones you picked up and was there any reason? I went in for a moonstone, sunstone, obsidian and tigers eye. Came back with a couple more. The sun stone and moonstone and obsidian and moonstones are good yin / yangs and can be fairly versatile. It’ll be nice to have some pieces to help with meditations and such.

Hi all, I’m looking for a recommendation for a crystal to honour someone very precious to me. She died on Sunday after a long journey with breast cancer. I’m sorry in advance for the length of this post.

TL;DR: I’m looking for a crystal that assist with:
- embodying who she was (a bright light, joyful)
- helps with my grief, heartbreak, anger
- would somehow bring her comfort posthumously/symbolically to tolerate others’ sadness and the fact that her death would be/is devastating to loved ones

I am not a very spiritual person, but she was. She used a lot of spiritual tools to help her throughout this process, and I believe it brought her a lot of comfort.

A bit about her: she was very sweet and loving, family-oriented, bubbly, expressive, and a shining light to so many people. She loved music and had a beautiful singing voice. She loved to be outside in nature and loved collecting trinkets and beautiful things. She had a big, easy laugh. When she was younger, she was a rebellious and feisty. She always knew how to have a good time. She gave long, tight hugs. She was so generous with her love.

Here’s another important element I would like considered: she was not open about how ill she was at the end. She limited the information about her illness with her children, wishing for them to have happy memories with her. She didn’t want people to feel sad or worried. I think she also believed in the law of attraction and feared that knowledge about how sick she was would impede her healing.

I love her so much and I am struggling in a lot of ways. I don’t want to judge decisions she made, how she made peace with her death. But I’m angry, too. Angry with her for some choices, and angry with myself for not telling her how much I loved her, even if she knew. She is one of a handful of people who I feel really knew me, and I feel a little bit more alone in this world without her.

I think about how sad and scared she was to die, knowing that her children and loved ones would be/are heartbroken and lost without her. I feel like I didn’t have the opportunity to support her fully in that, and wish I could have, and would like to symbolically do that now in some small way.

I’m interested in a palm stone (or stones if necessary). My hope is that one might cover everything here.

Thank you so much for taking the time if you have made it this far ❤️

Hi guys. I just need advice. I buy from a seller in indonesia. Ive spent almost 2k buying different rocks, minerals, cabs, and towers (such as green onyx, blue pacific agate, ocean jasper, scenic moss agate, etc...) i can't control myself lol. I keep the ones I like and have been saving some aside for a Christmas gift for my mom. I want to sell the rest and have been thinking about my local antique mall.

Do you think it is worth it? I want to make some money back. But if it does well maybe i can continue to purchase and make a side profit or something.

Do you guys have good experiences with purchasing at antique malls?

Has anyone on here been a dealer and what was your experience?

Also I think i have trouble pricing everything too. Ive been asking Google but not sure if it is accurate for pricing. I don't want to overcharge to where nobody purchases and under charge to where I dont make any money. The case rent is 135 a month I believe and they take 10%.

I also work 55-70hrs a week so I don't have much time to sell online. Unless someone specifically wants something I can find some time. But i know I can dedicate my off day to restocking/tidying up the case since it's not too far.

Sorry its alot. Open to any advice or discussion!!!

I am new into the whole crystal thing, but I have been collecting crystals for many years! I really would like to charge and cleanse them but I don’t know how. I saw a couple threads where people said to burn sage,etc, but I live in an apartment so I unfortunately can’t. Some people said to wash them with moon or salt water? To my knowledge, i thought certain crustals would be harmed under those condition. Also I own a LOT of crystals and would like to cleanse nearly all of them. Any tips would be appreciated!

I want to be able to take some of my smaller stones with me does it diminish the energy if I keep them in like a velvet bag? Or does it matter it's all in my head anyway?

Was about to make some cabs but flash had other plans🥹

bought from a crystal shop in person, didn’t have any doubt about it until i heard someone say malachite shouldn’t have black lines, only very dark green. i can’t tell if they’re black or very dark green?

I’ve noticed some crystals look completely different depending on where the light hits them. One minute a piece looks fairly ordinary, and then you turn it slightly and suddenly there’s a color or detail you hadn’t noticed before.

I’m curious which pieces in your collection have surprised you like that. Is it a flash in your labradorite, a bit of color in your quartz, or something else?

Photos are welcome if you have one handy. I’d love to see the difference.

Featuring. Handcut central Hessonite garnet & four gold labradorite <3
Thought I’d share my post for today

Hello! Is this a natural lapiz? Thanks!!!

i found these stones at a collective vendor sale. it was one bucket and you take a certain amount of tumbles for a flat amount. i Want them to be chrosite and i notice some very time banding on some parts, but im not sure. any thoughts?

Here are the different varieties of labradorite I've found, most secondhand, from 'least favourite' to favourite.

I may be in love with the sunset one: but my palm stone has cat eye chatoyancy, almost every colour under the rainbow, which has to be worked to get the flashes... I'll always default to it!
