My gemstone collection! Part 1 of 3
Groups A and B: bought from a collector (a friend of mine)
GROUP A
It's almost impossible to figure out where these came from so ill just tag the name of these
1 golden tiger eye
2 ruby
3 fire opal
4 red jasper
5 malachite
6 pirite (fool's gold)
7 hematic quartz
8 a terrible rose quartz
9 ialine quartz
10 reticulated quartz
11 green aventurine (the big one in the background is a tree made entirely of it!)
12 black agate geode
Also 12 cuz Im drunk: celestine
13 zoisite - ruby (its mostly zoisite which is the black-green stuff)
14 aquamarine (the best I could find for 8€, I might get a gemstone quality one later this year for ~150€)
15 azurite-malachite
16 amethyst
17 dark blue fluorite
18 turquoise (DAMN is it pricey)
19 sodalite
20 lapis (guess which I paid the most)
21 labradorite (soooo pretty! I recommend buying charms made of it)
22 ematite (i have a bigger one behind 24)
23 olivine or peridot (also very expensive, the only place where to get them for cheap is in lanzarote island) a grain of it is 8€ or 10$
24 vanadinite
My favourites are lapis, malachite and labradorite!
GROUP B, also called the expensive group
I'll tag the name, place where it was found and price
On the left: agglomeration of hematic quartz and analcine, found in Bolzano, Italy by a now deceased collectionist, 25€ (~28$)
On the middle: agglomeration of galena, fool's gold, malachite and blenda, Isola del Giglio (giglio island), Italy, same as above, 30€ (~33$)
On the right: a rare scaled iridescent hematite, now illegal to pick up from its origin place, Elba island, Italy. Same as above. 35+€ (~40+$)
Ima sucker for the middle one. It sparklez~~~
