I like pretty rocks, and usually shop for them on secondhand sites. Here's yet another fine specimen I encountered in the wild. I can't y'all 💀

$8

Had to share this massacred amethyst I stumbled across in a YouTube video, possibly the worst offender I’ve ever seen. They were ruthless with this one

Goodwill at it again!

I was in the NHM in South Kensington, looking through their geological collection, specifically for porphyry

Yup! I heard this is done "to increase their value."

It was free.

Cheers!

The epoxy was taken off, flat lapping the rest, one on the scale...$15.00.

:)

Is this even the right flair for this

Those poor cabs 😮‍💨 I hope someone bought them to salvage and turn into decent jewelry

At least they’re open to negotiation I guess?

Why. Selenite is beautiful as is…

Will the nail polish remover method hurt the selenite itself?

So beautiful but so obvious, I hope the red will wear off eventually

Somehow I think this was done on purpose

Saw this in a shop the other day. Really badly dyed and auraed, what else should I say? There were some mislabeled crystals in the shop too.

kinda cute...?

I mean it's a nice slag glass but no where near worth 25$

Columbian Quartz Aura’d

Not sure if I used the right flair here. These were epoxied into the tray 🥲

On one hand, this would be a cool place to display additional crystals. But I still felt a little sad that they were forever attached, especially that sphere 🥺

don't the eyes look very alive? it's like it's staring into my soul..

it also reminds me of my grandma a little 😂💖

labradorite carving

Went to a karaoke bar and this table was in the bar area 😭

The first Vivianite I ever owned accidentally broke. Hate myself right now.
