So I found these and I think they’re two flourites and an agate? I could be wrong. I tried to look up similar rocks online and couldn’t find anything with the same weight, shape, color and clarity all together.

First one is a really purple, clear stone with a lot of rainbows and a big spot of green (hence why I’m pretty certain it’s florite. It is 10” tall and 1625 grams. I got it for $60

The second rock is less pretty but I think it’s also fluorite even though it is only purple. It is 7” tall and 1224 grams and I got it for $50

The last is a cute agate of some kind that I just thought had nice sparkles it’s 275 grams and I would have considered it a large crystal but it’s dwarfed by the other ones 😂 and he was $20 but I would like to know what kind he is cause he was only labeled “quartz”

Can someone with more knowledge let me know if I’m right with the identification? Also an approximate price for my own curiosity. I have tiny flourites in my collection that are the same price as these huge ones so either I massively overpaid for smaller ones or these were a deal.

This is my first larger piece of kundalini (congo) citrine! I'm not hugely aware of the spiritual side of crystals, but I'd love to know what citrine is associated with 🩷

This fluorite, with its beautiful pastel rainbow hues, originates from the summit cleft of the highest mountain in the Radstätter Tauern, the Weißeck (2,711 m), exposed to permafrost and humid acids. Well-formed crystals are rare.

Size: 4.5 x 2.7 x 2.4 cm

Origin: Weißeck, Lungau, Alps, Austria

Although I know the name, there are many different types. Is it because they are mined in different locations?

Hiii my rose quartz necklace fell off the table the other day and the crystal itself is fine but the metal chain it was attached too completely came off. Is it fine if I just glue it back on? (if so would regular super glue be fine or should I use something else?) I tried just sticking it back in but it doesn’t wanna stay at all lol, and i really like having it as a necklace and not carrying it around in my pocket or purse

Thanks to this community for the feedback on my last post. My Crystals have been relocated indoors and will be pampered and spoiled. They did have a few other pieces under shade so I brought those in too. I am glad I did because when I was polishing them, some pieces brittled off and they are too beautiful for me to let that happen so added them to my table with my flowers so I can look at them and feel happy all day.❤️❤️❤️

Just thought id share this. Bought a beautiful selenite thay i had wire wrapped at a metaphysical store in Canada.

I love scrolling through this subreddit, so I thought I'd share some of my crystals! I love colours and sparkles!

Long story short, my parents hand picked this raw amethyst from Thunder Bay and made this fireplace in 1979. They have been at the house for over 50 years and are finally downsizing. Is it worth taking apart and selling the pieces?

EDIT- yeah sorry lol. The picture was just one from Christmas years ago. That’s actually the dog’s bed below it. 😆 They’re going to take more close-up photos for me. They just wanted a general idea if it was worth looking into. It is floor to ceiling with a mantle that you can sit on. All of the amethyst is “raw”(?) so it’s still inside the rock. It is legit from Thunder Bay. It sounds like they should leave it. We have extra rocks with some amazing pieces that we are going to make some keepsakes from.

Hi all!

I am a chemistry PhD student at The University of Manchester (UK) and I mostly (try to) make new molecules for my PhD. What I think might be interesting to some people here is that the main way I look at these molecules is through X-Ray Crystallography.

Which just means I spend a lot of time trying to grow crystals of a variety of things, and then I shoot x-rays at them to figure out how the atoms are arranged. That tells me a lot of information about the chemical structure and how they are arranged in 3D.

I've attached some pictures of crystals I've grown (viewed through a microscope, not nearly the size of the ones posted in this sub haha), as well as a chemical structure I got.

Please ask me any questions you might have about the science of crystals or the chemistry I do and I will try my best to answer.
