Stand! User ID: 27950763 Canada 01/09/2013 01:24 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The pink one is, indeed, rose quartz, the grey one just appears to be some kind of basic granite or jasper, The milky white one could be moonstone and the orange one is what's called a cross stone. Rise quartz is good for love, moonstone is good for intuition and jasper has more properties than I can list here. |

I hear they have even MORE energy than quartz crystals. |

MCB User ID: 30948432 United States 01/10/2013 10:10 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | SD - The 3 smaller ones are likely quartzite variants... The larger one is likely a sedimentary rock - quartzite also prolly - note the granular texture. The 3 smaller ones appear to be grossular crystal fragments - that is to say they exibit no overt characteristics of the crystal structure, i.e. facets. Quartzite is named for its physicl appearance, so the pink is rose quartz, the white one is usually called crystal spar, and the yellowish one would be a citrine. Note the heavy weathering. They all seem to have fared about the same, so they prolly have the same hardness - another reason other than just the appearance that I think they're all the same type of rock. Assuming you got them from the same place. Hard to tell more with out physical tests. That said they are nice rocks, and how they feel to you is what matters... I have many rocks of my own that only appeal to me. Others would pass them by. Enjoy them. MCB To measure a circle - start anywhere... Charles Fort Total Choas! Belief is the enemy - John Keel Is it a coincidence that right there in the middle of the word "believe" is the word "lie?" When less are born, less will die...

There was a few small drawers of broken glass (artistic type glass) and then these stones were in there. Thought they looked nice, and were lonely and abandoned. So, I adopted them! Anyone else have any ideas?

CeeLite User ID: 30870262 United States 01/10/2013 11:00 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It is easier to tell when they have been polished/tumbled. The orangish round one looks like jasper to me. The white I think is agate, the grey MAY (probably not lol) be hematite. Last Edited by CeeLite on 01/10/2013 11:01 PM |
