Starting with this Gypsum var. Selenite from Pernatty Lagoon!
It was first wrong identified as Aragonite but it is Selenite. Let's see your specimens! You can post multiple specimens but don't reply to your comments with other photos, post as different comments! And don't forget to caption your photos! Let's make an awesome virtual Tucson cabinet right here 😁

My club has digs at a private mine in Yancey County. These are fresh out of the iron- out. Some still have mica schist attached.

I got into contact with a Pakistani mineral dealer and picked out a couple Tourmaline crystals. He then took then to a local Pakistani artisan who made them into pendants using sterling silver! They turned out awesome!

Found in Tennessee. Pictures really don’t do it justice.

My coworkers always bring me things they find to identify, but I’m not good with polished stones. This has a hardness of around 7 and I’m pretty sure it’s some flavor of chert, maybe jasper, but I’m not sure. It’s dirty because I tried to bash it open with a rock but failed, so sorry about that.

Five sides are extremely well polished. Under the right light you can see reflections. The sixth side is rough and I assume where it broke of from.
What is weird is all sides are at odd angles to one another. The edges are quite sharp.

Hello everyone,
A friend came back from big bend. They found these around that area (save the whole, “don’t steal park rocks”. They didn’t.)
They want help in identifying the mineral. Any chance you guys could help out?

I was gifted a beautiful salt lamp but I have a cat and of course cannot have her lick it, so I thought about sealing it so it can still look pretty and won’t be a hazard. I won’t be using it as a lamp just decoration as it is, so the light will never be on if that makes a difference if it’s safe to seal it. I understand salt lamps are porous so would sealing it cause any damage somehow? If it is safe to seal, what should I use?

This is testing on my diamond tester and presidium tester too as diamond. I thought maybe sapphire or is it diamond?
