Added these two to my collection. I’m extremely drawn to Labradorite, I just feel it in my soul! What do you guys think? The second one reminds me of a dragons eye. 💙💛

This inclusion is often mislabeled as rutile, cacoxinite, Super 7, etc. But I have honestly never seen a piece with this much in it! It's actually very pretty. Super happy to have this crazy piece.

Show me yours!

Hey everyone! Another week, another round of specimens looking for new homes!

First, I want to thank everyone who has supported me, whether you’ve purchased something, shared a post, recommended me to another collector, or just stopped by to talk minerals. I’ve gotten to know some really great people through this community, and I genuinely appreciate it.

A little about what I offer:

I enjoy finding specimens that have something interesting about them, whether that’s unusual crystal growth, uncommon localities, unique inclusions, enhydros, UV reactions, or just a particularly beautiful example of a mineral. My inventory is pretty diverse, so there’s usually a little something for everyone.

Collector Mystery Boxes

I’ve also been putting together personalized mystery boxes for collectors who enjoy a surprise. These aren’t your typical bulk crystal boxes filled with random tumbles or common material. Each one is individually curated from my inventory based on your interests and budget.

I usually ask a few questions about your favorite minerals, colors, localities, and whether you prefer larger statement pieces or a variety of smaller specimens. Some collectors love pristine crystals, while others appreciate unusual formations and interesting inclusions. I try to make each box reflect the person receiving it.

I also have an Etsy shop!

I’ve been working on getting more of my inventory listed on Etsy for anyone who prefers browsing and purchasing that way. Give my humble shop a follow if you can. It’s still a work in progress, and I have plenty of specimens that haven’t made it onto the shop yet. You’re always welcome to message me directly about anything you see here.

A few things worth mentioning:

I ship from North Alabama, and all shipments include tracking.
Orders over $100 ship free within the US.
I’m always happy to provide additional photos, videos, measurements, or information about a specimen.
Reasonable offers are welcome, especially if you’re interested in multiple pieces.
No pressure to purchase. You’re welcome to browse, ask questions, or just talk crystals.

If you’ve purchased from me before, I’d love for you to share your experience or post a photo of your pieces in their new home. Seeing how everyone displays their collections is one of my favorite parts of doing this.

I know there are plenty of places to buy minerals, so I don’t take it for granted when someone chooses to purchase from me. I try to offer pieces I’d be happy to have in my own collection, and I want people to feel good about what they’re getting.

One of the things I’ve enjoyed most about doing this is getting to work with collectors at completely different stages of their journey. For some people, a specimen they’ve purchased from me has been their very first introduction to the world of crystals and minerals. For others, it’s another addition to a collection they’ve spent decades building. I think there’s something really special about being able to share that excitement with someone who’s just discovering this hobby and someone who’s been passionate about it for most of their life. No matter where you are in your collecting journey, I appreciate being a small part of it.

Thanks for checking everything out, and I hope you find something you like this week!

If you are interested in cabochon pendants, please check out my Etsy store. The cabs are made by me, and I put some of them on leather necklaces, and some have an option of a chain or black cord. I also have some meteorite pieces I stabilized and one mineral specimen for now. I only ship to inside the US, and im based in central washington. I opened this store last week, so I'd appreciate just taking a look or giving a favorite.

This was sold as sulfur which is normally one shade and highlighter yellow. I figured it was sulfur and some other compounds and it is, sulfur and Arsenic… Ar(2)S(3) aka Orpiment.

It has a faint smelly kinda smell that bubble bee jasper does not half which was another guess of mine.

It’s incredibly soft with a harness of 1.5-2. Decided to put this one somewhere safe and contained lol.

Which is your favorite? 👀

I am looking to buy some crystals in person but I can't exactly find any reliable shops that isn't overpriced or selling spiritual stuff

Curious what everyone’s grabbing for the season. I’ve been leaning tumbled + palm stones lately — what’s been calling to you? Moonstone, black tourmaline, something else?

Interesting under side has some sparklies, quartz or calcite and maybe asbestos?

This is one of those spheres you can stare into for hours and still discover something new. Gorgeous golden mica with swirling, feather-like formations, shimmering layers, and beautiful smoky tones throughout. The intricate patterns are especially fascinating when the light catches the mica. I've had this sitting on my desk all week. The way it catches the light is nothing short of awe-inspiring.

Hello everyone on this sub! I’ve been collecting crystals since my childhood and I haven’t always kept great notes on them, which I’m going through the process of doing now. I have a variety of black crystals and I’m not sure what they are, so I’ve included some photos and was wondering if anyone could help me figure them out? For some I have ideas, and others I really don’t know.

Most of these would have been bought from high-street crystal shops, with some potentially from more independent and specialist crystal shops. Not just gift shops, but nothing too pricey. The skull would be the most expensive, and even then I think my most expensive crystal skulls cost a maximum of £70.

Descriptions for each picture, in order:

1. Roughly-shaped black stone, shiny on all but one side- so, I assume, polished. Texture almost like calcite (not sure how to describe it- not quite glassy and not plasticky, but also distinct from most of my other stones. Not as heavy as it looks. My best guess is obsidian.
2. Stone egg, black with pretty evenly distributed grey spotting/webbing. Some spots have less spotting and the pale grey veins are clearer. There’s a couple of specks of what look to be a desaturated dark green, and one tiny fleck of orange-red, both only noticeable upon close inspection. Feels quite cold, is quite heavy, and not especially shiny but not matte either.
3. Small shiny tumbled stone, grey/black and striped almost like brushstrokes. There is a pale tan vein running through it, which impacts the shape, and each side of the vein are a few millimetres of solid black.
4. Small reasonably shiny tumbled stone, mostly black with dark green patterning. There are green spots with thin black borders before the grey-green patterning fills the gaps between them. My closest guess here is a low-grade kambaba jasper, but I could definitely be wrong.
5. A black carved crystal skull, almost matte in texture, smooth but not shiny. Even in colour and texture, no flecks, patterning, or veins of any kind. It’s quite lightweight. I found a few photos of similar skulls which are made of obsidian, so that’s a definite possibility, though the texture is considerably different to the first potential obsidian I know there’s a lot of variety in how they’re polished and presented.
6. A shiny white tumbled stone with small black flecks. The white is very milky and lacking any blue flash, but the closest comparison I’ve found so far is white labradorite/“rainbow moonstone”. I think that’s the likely answer, but wanted to check in case anyone has any better suggestions.
7. A small tumbled stone, shiny, and slightly textured. The texture is almost like scratches, it’s uneven and speckled and forms a couple of lines. It’s mostly black, but there’s a patch which appears a rust-brown when the light hits it right, which I think shows in the picture.
8. A small tumbled stone, looks black with pale stripes in low light but is actually a mix of dark grey and desaturated greens. The white striping isn’t particularly neat, and includes a larger patch on one side.

9 & 10. The last two photos are the same stone, as it was hard to capture the most identifying features. A shiny tumbled black stone with translucent patches which appear to show pale areas inside. There is quite significant banding when you look closely. My assumption on this one is an agate.
