“For all things mineral related”

sometimes you just wanna see some cool rocks

like these

They aren’t all this fancy. Also people are very helpful if you’re trying to figure out what kind of rock you have.

      It’s quartz…maybe. The crystal foramtion is what’s throwing me. My sample is banged up, but still the crystals appear to be 5-sided, not 6.

      What is saphira? I couldn’t find anything onine. I found corundum, fo sapphire, but the mohs scale is too high for my sample, a 9. My sample is closer to a 7. Also corundum streaks colorless and my sample streaks white.

      Clinozoisite is a similar mohs, but streaks greyish-white.

      So I’m thinking quartz.
