it's really hard to tell when you don't have them in real life :c also, i am not Expert Man™

verifying through googling or going to an appraiser seems like a good next step

Aa thank you. I'll try to get my sister to help me Indentify some more of my stones since she works them into necklaces and stuff.

I have a bit of an obsession with gems and shiny rocks. Diamond is my birthstone, but it's not really one of my favorites. My absolute favorite is quartz. I just love looking at all the little cracks and stuff inside the crystals. It's beautiful.

 

I also love pyrite, but I get a tad picky when it comes to those. I like the ones with a lot of flat and shiny surfaces. I dunno why.

 

I've only seen pictures online, but I also like dragon's fire opal. It looks awesome.

 

Here's two of my favorites in my collection.

I've only got into gems/crystals due to Steven Universe. Now I find them really interesting, only have some malachite on a necklace atm though, would love to have a huge collection of pretty crystals but my parents would think they were a waste of money.

All of them.

I have a bad habit of buying them rough, cleaning them myself, and putting them in a box.

and there they remain until the end of time.

I have an obsession with sapphires.

 

They're my birth stone so I feel extremely lucky and fortunate. biggrin.gif

 

I also cannot resist tiger's eye, lapis lazuli, dark blue diamonds, iolite, tanzanite, rainbow obsidian, angel aura quartz, blue aura quartz, labradorite, dragon's fire opal, and black opals that are really just dark blue and have only blue colors in them (no other color), and that's all I can think off the top of my head atm. xd.png

 

My utter obsession is blue star sapphires. 83 I don't own any myself because they're SOOO expensive but I love how the star design of the sapphire just shimmers and glows. 8D ~ And having it be DARK BLUE is just the icing on the cake. >u<~~~

 

*cough* Yes I am obsessed with dark blue, why are you asking? -///-

I recently got a slice of agate and a tiger jasper cut into a heart from the Salt Lake City airport. I also got some nice pieces of tangerine aura quartz for my birthday.

Definitely blue opals. The way they catch the light, all the different hues of blue and green- they're just gorgeous.

Labradorite and Opalite are my favorites to wear. I collect gem stones, so I have tons of different types though.

I have these pieces of different quartzes. They came from one of those arts and crafts kits where you dig crystals out of a hunk of rock that you take your anger out on. XD

Clear Quartz, Agate, Amethyst, Rose Quartz, and Dolomite

These are, according to the box they came in...

 

Blue Agate, Carnelian, Clear Quartz,
Beryl, Amethyst, Red Agate, 
Morganite, Turquoise, 

Alabaster, Rose Quartz, Yellow Quartz.

 

I'm not sure I'm buying what the packaging says- Isn't morganite pink? while this one is black with white spots... it looks kinda like snowflake obsidian? XD

That is snowflake obsidian. Morganite is pink, ranging from slight orangish to deep pink.
